Quark is a family of 32-bit microcontrollers developed by Intel first announced on September 10, 2013 at the Intel Developer Forum. The family consists of both system on a chips and microcontrollers. These chips are designed to be smaller, use less power, and less powerful than Atom, specifically targeting Internet of Things - where lower power and size take priority over higher performance. Quark'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 designed for smartphones, and operates at a tenth of the power. Quark was intended to be 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

Collaboration with Arduino

On December 10, 2013 Intel Corporation CEO Brian Krzanich announced a collaboration agreement with Arduino LLC. Krzanich also unveiled the Galileo board, the first product in a new family of Arduino-compatible development boards featuring Intel architecture[1].

Microcontrollers

The Quark microcontrollers have a Pentium x86-compatible instruction set without the x87 floating point unit.
