Intel introduces SD card-sized 22nm dual core PC

Intel seems determined to shrink the size of its computer processors with the freshly announced Edison. The miniature computer is based on the Quark SoC technology created with 22nm transistor technology intended to cram computing power into an SD card form factor. The mini computer is meant to entice developers to build the next-generation of wearable or connected devices.

Edison is equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and can even connect to its own app store. Intel CEO Brian Krzanich showed off practical applications of the computer with “Nursery 2.0” products such as a toy frog that informs parent’s about a baby’s vitals through an LED coffee cup.
