From the top 17 companies, Intel's investment companies cover such areas as wearable equipment, Internet of things, large data analysis, chips and smart devices. Missed the wave of mobile Internet, Intel in the things networking action repeatedly:

At the beginning of this year, CES released the only SD card size, wearable equipment developed hardware development platform "Edison", showing the launch of their own voice helper smart headset "Jarvis". January, together with Jingwei millions of U.S. dollars investment platform roll call time. March, the acquisition of Intelligent Watch Company basis. August, in collaboration with the Michael J. Fox Foundation, a study using wearable devices to treat Parkinson's disease.

Will this massive investment help Intel buy the future of the Internet of things?

Intel, as the upstream company, is in charge of chips and standards, but how to promote it requires a group of enterprises to be able to land its solution. Intel senior executives to visit the Shenzhen factory, the establishment of Intelligent Equipment Innovation Center in Shenzhen, to the Shenzhen manufacturers to provide low-cost chips, to a large extent, it is the Shenzhen sound industrial chain and rapid landing capacity.

This is somewhat similar to millet, millet now has a downstream users, is a very large platform, but how to fully mobilize, use of fan resources, but also need a group of enterprises to join the Millet camp, promote more products, enhance user stickiness.
