Quark, Processor "Wearable Gadgets" Artificial Intel
Semiconductor company Intel announces new processor family is very small, named Quark. Quark is a company that claims processor System-on-Chip (SoC) built first with 14 nano-meter fabrication process (nm).
As reported KompasTekno journalist Aditya Panji, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich, said, Quark is designed for all activities related to the Internet.
In addition to personal computers and mobile devices, processors Quark is also made for medical equipment and devices used in the human body (wearable device / gadget), including smart watches and sunglasses. There was the possibility, these kinds of devices in the future will be connected to the internet.
"We are leading manufacturing technology and processor architectures, and will continue to push our products to be able to consume less power. Our strategy is to lead in all areas of computing," said Krzanich in the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2013 in San Francisco, U.S., on Tuesday (10/09/2013).
On this occasion, also stated focus Krzanich Intel to create processors that support 4G LTE wireless network. This means, that uses the Intel x86 architecture base, will compete against ARM architecture processor with a base that has been supporting 4G LTE. One of the players magnitude, among others, is Qualcomm.
Intel believes that will lead to business computing devices smaller, faster and more flexible.
"It (the Quark-red) is the smallest product we have ever wake up," said Intel President Renee James. He explains, Quark has one-fifth the size of Atom processors and 10 times more power efficient.
Intel CEO and President Brian Krzanich Intel's Renee James, to be the keynote speaker on IDF 2013. This is the inaugural appearance of both executives in the IDF, after replacing previous CEO and President of Intel, Paul Otellini, who decided to retire early in May.
