Intel has announced the follow up to Edison and Curie, their current SoC device, called Joule. They have moved away from the Quark processors they previously used to a current generation Atom. The device is designed to compete against NVIDIA's Jetson as it is far more powerful than a Raspberry Pi and will be destined for different usage. It will support Intel RealSense, perhaps appearing in the newly announced Project Alloy VR headset. Drop by Hack a Day for more details on the two soon to be released models, the Joule 570x and 550x.
"The high-end board in the lineup features a quad-core Intel Atom running at 2.4 GHz, 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM, 16GB of eMMC, 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.1, USB 3.1, CSI and DSI interfaces, and multiple GPIO, I2C, and UART interfaces."

So, is quark dead then?
So, is quark dead then? Havent heard much since it launched. Is it even in any product?
Do these things have any
Do these things have any hardware video decode? I have wondered what the lowest powered device is that supports such features. You can get things like a Chrome Cast of an Apple TV, but these are locked down devices that you don’t have much control of.
