Intel's Curie Chip Can Work With Wearables

THE MOTLEY FOOL - Mar 30 - Intel established a new IoT division last year, which houses its smallest SoCs (systems on chips). One of the IoT division's most fascinating products is Curie, a button-sized, ultra-low power module with a six-axis sensor, accelerometer, and gyroscope. Curie has just 80KB of onboard SRAM and 384KB of flash storage, and lacks an application processor, wireless connectivity, or Wi-Fi. The only way to sync with Curie is via Bluetooth. Curie can't power full-featured smartwatches, but it could be installed in less demanding devices like fitness bands, medical monitors, and security tokens.
