Intel

The Santa Clara, Calif. company has been moving away from its roots in PC semiconductors to prioritize end-to-end connected offerings such as intelligent gateways and embedded chips. In August, Intel also took the wraps off Joule, a module built for IoT applications by putting a high-performance system-on-module into a low-power package. Intel will continue to restructure its business in 2017 and delve deeper into IoT industrial and vertical market applications.
