According to foreign media reports, Intel, which wanted to make a difference in the TV field, is now turning to wearable devices. Its CEO Brian Krzanich hopes to put Intel chips into wearable devices by the end of this year. . Although ambitious, the challenge is still daunting to achieve technological breakthroughs.
Although Intel ’s new CEO Brian Kozic did n’t quite agree with his predecessor ’s proposal on Internet TV, the CEO has always been interested in Google Glass and hopes that Intel ’s own chips will be used here by the end of 2013. Kinds of wearable devices. "We are still very cautious about the network TV plan," Ke Zaiqi said of Intel's planned IPTV launch this year, but his predecessor, Paul Otellini, had a soft spot for the TV business. Although it is quite ambitious in the TV field and has also received some good feedback from early testers, Intel has not yet reached any agreement on TV content. But compared with plans in the TV field, Ke Zaiqi is more confident in wearable devices.
Intel may launch chips for wearable devices by the end of 2013
"We are experts in chips and mobile devices, and we have promoted Moore's Law," Ke Zaiqi told the media at a press conference. "But we are not experts in TV content and we are still very cautious."
Intel ’s cautious attitude makes sense, and the television industry is not so easy for any electronics company to enter. Apple has always wanted to start its own TV service, hoping to provide users with their favorite channels, without having to be forced to watch those bundled TV shows they don't like. Apple wants to stand out in the TV field in this way.
However, TV content owners like the bundled TV content because these TV shows can bring them more profit than popular programs and channels. Intel is said to be facing a similar dilemma as Apple, although Intel ’s quotation exceeds 75% of other existing TV networks.
But Intel is likely to take further action on wearable devices. Ke Zaiqi admitted that Google Glass was indeed in his pocket when interviewed by reporters. He said that wearable devices can distribute computing power around the body, rather than just allocating computing power to smartphones, tablets or laptops. He expects that over time, wearable devices will become more and more relevant to human life.
As for when Intel's chips will enter these devices, the CEO is ambitious. "I think at the end of this year and the beginning of next year, you will see the equipment that holds our chips," he said. "We are trying to fit our chips into these devices and produce some of our own products, understand how to use them and create an ecosystem."
Last year, Intel's Chief Technology Officer Justin Ratner (JusTIn Rattner) said that Intel is developing a smart watch, but did not comment on whether this watch is a cooperative project of Apple Watch. Since Ratner announced the news of his resignation, Intel said that the smart watch plan will be backed out. Ratner himself did not mention what functions Intel's smart watches will have.
Putting its own chip in a wearable device will be a difficult task for Intel. Historically, smartphones and other mobile devices have always used processors produced by ARM. The main reason is that these processors are more energy-efficient than the x86 chips introduced by Intel. In a wearable device, saving energy is more important. No one wants to bring a heavy battery when wearing these devices.
For this reason, Google Glass chose a relatively old processor-similar to the one used in smartphones in 2011-to give full play to the performance of the mini 570mAh battery.
Both Ke Zage and Intel President Renee James said they would continue to monitor the performance of Intel Atom chips on mobile devices to catch up with ARM processors as soon as possible. "We think Atom is very important," Ke Zaiqi insisted. "Atom uses the same cutting-edge technology, some of which are even more advanced than Core."
