Intel’s 2017 Product Roadmap: A Journey in the direction of Data PART 10 OF 11
Intel’s Internet of Things Group
So far, we’ve seen that Intel (INTC) is pertaining to each facet of information—processing, transmitting, storing, and accessing. The firm’s IoTG (Internet of Things Group) will deal with the primary course of, amassing information from varied IoT gadgets.
Intel’s IoTG income rose 15% YoY (year-over-year) to $2.6 billion in fiscal 2016. As the corporate is trying to increase its IoT group, it has elevated its R&D (analysis and improvement) spending within the house by ~80%. Intel has created the Intel GO model for its autonomous automobile efforts and a VR (digital actuality) sports activities model for its efforts in digital actuality in sports activities.
Intel GO
Intel has entered into a number of partnerships and has made a number of acquisitions to develop within the automotive house. In March 2017, the corporate introduced its second-biggest acquisition, Mobileye (MBLY), to develop within the automotive house. The combination of Mobileye’s and Intel’s technologies creates an end-to-end autonomous-driving solution, from automobile to information heart.
Intel may report Mobileye’s earnings underneath IoTG, or it may create a separate automotive group. The two corporations’ automotive companies aren’t large enough to be separate enterprise teams. There’s a excessive likelihood that Intel studies Mobileye’s earnings underneath IoTG, which might improve IoTG’s income by 30.zero% YoY to ~$three.5 billion in fiscal 2017.
In January 2017, Intel acquired a 15% stake in mapping data know-how HERE, which is co-owned by Audi, BMW, and Daimler. Intel additionally has a partnership with BMW to develop an autonomous automobile platform.

Intel has partnered with the NFL (National Football League) to put in 360-degree replay know-how in a number of stadiums earlier than the 2017 season begins. The know-how will comprise digital camera setups to seize 5K visuals and onsite servers to course of as much as one terabyte of information per 15- to 30-second clip.
Intel already streams NCCA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) basketball video games dwell on its TrueVR platform. The firm has put in seven VR digital camera arrays. Each array has 12 cameras broadcasting a spherical view of stadium motion. Viewers can watch video games on Samsung (SSNLF) Gear VR headsets. Intel is more likely to make many extra IoT bulletins in fiscal 2017. Next, we’ll have a look at Intel’s safety enterprise.
