CES 2015: Intel and the Future of Computing


One of the companies that made the biggest announcements at this year’s CES was probably Intel. Apart from the various devices powered by its new chips, the tech giant also introduced some interesting projects it is currently working on.


On one hand, we have the Intel Curie module, a button-sized hardware intended for wearables. The module is expected to be available by the second half of 2015 and should include Intel’s Quark SE chip, a Bluetooth LE radio, sensor and battery charging.

The company also announced that they are currently working with several fashion brands to push wearable technology into the main stream. The company’s CEO, Brian Krzanich mentioned several brands including Basis Peak, Fossil Group, Luxottica Group, MICA and Opening Ceremony and SMS Audio to name a few.


And speaking of collaboration with fashion brands, Intel has reiterated its efforts to collaborate with Oakley on smart eyewear. Krzanich says the first product may come later this year and will be geared towards athletes.

Lastly, the chipmaker has announced its plans to invest $300 million to help build a pipeline of female and under-represented engineers and computer scientists. Intel plans to work with several partners in the tech industry to create or enhance programs that make use of female talent and those of the minority.
