Intel has
been investing in IoT for years, playing catch up to compete with companies like Qualcomm that got to the market early and saturated it with their chipsets. But a declining PC market pushed
them to make more drastic moves, cutting 12,000 jobs back in April to refocus on IoT and data centers, which made up 40 percent of their revenue last year. Continuing that commitment, today
Intel announced two new Atom processor lines: the E3900 series for connected devices and wearables along with the A3900 for smart auto apps. The E3900 will be Intel's IoT workhorse
for applications in multiple industries, prioritizing which processes to perform itself and which to push to the data center, a strategy known as fog computing.
