The new strategy in the IOT isn't to sell silicon - they try to create higher value goods - an IOT gateway with secure software, wearables, smart glasses together with famous optical brands, etc.
They're probably hoping to create some value due to hardware software integration, ALA apple. But hardware integration(from the hardware side) played only a small part in apple's success,at least as far as i understand it.
So we'll see about intel.
- joezydeco 12y agoIntel might want to enter the IoT market this way, but all the other chipmakers I've seen aren't going this route. They're trying to drop the power consumption and cost as fast as they can and let someone else design the fancy glasses. Intel's record in consumer electronics to date is, well, pretty awful. So the expectations are pretty low here. And, again, nobody gets 65% margin on consumer products.
