Missed the wave of mobile internet, the Golden age of Intel is gone forever. But what about Intel, which remains near 200 billion dollars in market capitalisation? Fortunately, technology has never been a straight line development, the curve beyond the success of the numerous. Seizing a wave of technology means unlimited opportunities and possibilities.

This time Intel took a fancy to the internet of things, which, after all, is likely to have 50 billion devices to compute and network for 2020 years. So, as you can see, recent Intel moves in the field of IoT: investing in platform-naming times, buying smart watch company basis, and recently investing 16 start-ups; The single product has already launched smart headphones "Jarvis", smart bracelets, smart watch peek.

These are not enough. According to The Verge news, Intel today released the IoT platform, relying on chip advantages, with cloud data processing capabilities to help hardware developers accelerate hardware development and improve communication between devices. This platform, not only covers wearable equipment, intelligent hardware field, will also be differentiated to cover medical devices, transportation, industrial machinery and so on.

Intel's core business is to make chips, and if the world has more computing needs and more places to chip, Intel's core business has a way forward. Simpler networking deployments will undoubtedly accelerate demand for chips. And these companies, products grow up, need to deal with the data and calculations are at this stage of 10 times times the magnitude above, but also to the processor and chip to put forward higher requirements. Previous acquisitions of basis, investment avegant, Ossia, Netspeed Bae and Precision Hawk are similar logic.

It's certainly not just Intel. Qualcomm, which goes beyond Intel on the mobile side, is also actively seeking to transform into smart watches and other wearable devices. _LGG Watch R uses the Gaotong 400 processor, and Samsung's Gear S also uses Snapdragon chips for data processing and network connectivity. The company recently acquired a CSR from UK microchips at a price of 2.5 billion dollars, strengthening the competitiveness of Qualcomm in the area of Bluetooth chips and audio chips. Prior to the Qualcomm-led AllJoyn Internet Protocol, is also a powerful competitor of Intel's Internet of Things platform.

The Intel networking platform was developed from last year, and it is no wonder that Microsoft has joined the Qualcomm Alliance, which Intel has not yet commented on. The recent collaboration with Google is also a signal to the outside world that Intel is going to exert its force.
