The first model might not even be on sale, but the next version of Google Glass will have Intel inside. That's according to the WSJ, who's heard from people familiar with the matter that it will apparently form yet another part of the chipmakers continued push into wearables -- in case you hadn't heard about that before.
Intel didn't quite manage to tap into the smartphone boom, with chips
licensed from its rival, ARM, powering the majority of smartphones. It
took until last year
for Intel to finally offer a smartphone processor that could connect to
4G LTE networks. Further still, Intel aims to promote Glass in a work
capacity, pitching to hospitals and manufacturing businesses. However,
but more importantly than the deal-making itself, we're still waiting to
hear how Glass itself will benefit from the new hardware. Neither Intel
or Google have responded to the report.
