The Intel Quark is a family of 32-bit x86, system on chip microprocessors developed by Intel first announced on September 10, 2013[1]. The MCU is designed to be smaller, use less power, and less powerful than Atom, specifically targeting Internet of Things[2] - where lower power and size take priority over higher performance[1]. TheQuark's architecture is designed to be Pentium ISA compatible. Intel announced that the first Quark core is one-fifth the size of the 22-nanometer Atom chips designed for smartphones, and operates at a tenth of the power[3].
Intel stated that the Quark has an open architecture, however this does not include licensing the core itself, but rather to allow others to integrate their own IP such as co-processors[3].
Collaboration agreement with Arduino
On December 10, 2013 Intel Corporation CEO Brian Krzanich announced a collaboration agreement with Arduino LLC. Krzanich also unveiled the Intel Galileo board, the first product in a new family of Arduino-compatible development boards featuring Intel architecture[4].
