Intel lays out plans for chips with everything

Intel is finally ready to join the crowded market for putting chips into non-computing devices

Intel has laid out its long-gestated plans for pushing its chips into everyday devices.

The world's largest chip firm said its systems on a chip development (SOCs) will see microprocessors used on everything from car systems to robots.

Other chip companies such as ARM, MIPs and IBM are already well-established in this market, says the Wall Street Journal.

Intel is relying on its established position in the computing market to boost its chances of success.

It is more than 10 years since Intel first predicted the advent of ubiquitous processor technology in new devices.
