Intel on Tuesday announced a new, lower-power family of processors, the Quark, at the Intel Developers Forum being held in San Francisco through Thursday.
This is part of the company's heightened drive into ultra-mobile devices.
- Lowers the price and quality for machines that are "smarter"
- They are designed for applications in which lower power and size, or the lack of it, take priority over higher performance.
- The Quark processors are open system, have an open architecture, and are fully synthesizable.
- The design, manufacturing, and everything else will still be controlled by Intel, whereas you can license ARM architecture
- The market is likely to be huge, as manufacturers are increasingly putting sensors and processors into products ranging from electric meters to automobiles to buildings.
