Embedded market: Challenges and opportunities

Abstract

There is a convergence trend in the computing, communication and consumer markets and with a forecast of an additional 1 billion connected computing users by 2015, it is of high value to provide a common experience between the devices. Intel's vision of Compute Continuum will enable the users to realize the potential of a seamless cross-device experience with more consistency and accessibility to their information. The convergence trend and the Compute Continuum make System-on-Chip [SoC] a key ingredient for the embedded markets. At Intel Labs, we are focusing on delivering differentiating technology solutions to enable our business partners to successfully capture their targeted market segments. We are working on a variety of research that will enable modular system architecture and silicon technology breakthroughs for rapid customization and integration facilitating faster time-to-market. Intel's vision along with some technology challenges and possible solutions will be highlighted.
