The Fine Art of Engineering

The Fine Art of Engineering
by Nazita Saye on 01-28-2016 at 12:00 pm

There’s a small art gallery near the office. It features a new set of paintings by a local artist every two weeks. As I walk by I tend to check out what’s hanging in there. Sometimes I turn up my nose at what I see – a bit too wacky, a bit too abstract, a bit too paint by numbers. Sometimes I walk in to take a closer look but leave the shop empty-handed… Read More


True Random Number Generation

True Random Number Generation
by Bernard Murphy on 01-27-2016 at 4:00 pm

Does IoT need Sensor Fusion? Yes, but at low-power, low cost…and higher performance

Does IoT need Sensor Fusion? Yes, but at low-power, low cost…and higher performance
by Eric Esteve on 01-27-2016 at 12:00 pm

We said this in the past, but let’s reiterate that IoT devices will be successful if they can meet low-cost and low-power requirements. Low-cost is the condition for IoT devices market penetration, I mean such a market adoption that we count several IoT systems (and dozens of devices) in every house. That’s the only way to reach the… Read More


Inception of "Intel Inside"

Inception of "Intel Inside"
by kunalpghosh on 01-27-2016 at 7:00 am

Let me start with a quote:

“Competition is always a good thing. It forces us to do our best. A monopoly renders people complacent and satisfied with mediocrity.”– Nancy Pearcy

By the end of post, it will be quite evident that it was the competition that led to one of the classiest campaign “Intel Inside” for its processors. As I mentionedRead More
