Intel's button-sized Curie will enable low-power wearables


Intel is going full throttle into wearables with the release of a button-sized hardware called Curie at CES 2015. The module is composed of several elements, the main one being the company's minuscule system on a chip called Quark. It also comes equipped with a Bluetooth Low Energy radio, sensors with accelerometer and gyroscope, as well as 384kB flash memory. Intel says Curie hasn't been authorized by the FCC yet, but if all goes well, it's scheduled to ship out in the second half of 2015. As you can guess from its components, the module can help make it easier (and faster) for manufacturers to design and produce low-power wearables.
