Any more details beyond what’s in the press release? Only 2 years ago both McAfee and wind river were part of the core IoT strategy, moon island etc and now they are both gone.

traditional refineries, manufacturing, alternative energy, agribusiness and city planning industries are all contemplating the necessary investments for IoT. It’s going to dive the need for processing power but it likely won’t happen as fast as some other industries. Intel has no choice but to stay the course and stay in the game.
Wind River cost Intel $884M. It will try to hide the selling price or do a partial sale and obfuscate the deal. In a company as large as Intel, it's easy for the CFO to call the sale "not a material transaction".
Now that Teslas are crashing into barriers because (they say) the lane markers aren't clear, and Ubers are killing people, expect BK to run for that fantasy and find another shiny object. Maybe retread the AI story, but then FB, Google and others are about to get slammed for data mining.
"Well Altera and Nervana both seem to be intergating pretty well."
At least in Powerpoint...
IoT has been a complete flop for Intel. Very typical. Also being run by a bunch of idiots. What more do you need for complete and utter failure.
Basis got demolished, poor effort into smart watches.
Well Altera and Nervana both seem to be intergating pretty well.
Has any acquisitions worked out, in a few years Atmel will be sold cents on the dollar same with Mobileye, nothing new pairing away money in failed fad strategy.
Intel's acquisition of a small company is often the kiss of death...
The folks at wind river didn't get a whole lot done except breaking wind....
Now it's time to head down to live in a van....down by the river.
Sorry IoT is a joke business...the markets could be serviced better by DCG/CCG
