Lately Intel is trying to enter several device markets. Other than their core products they now have at least the following "compute" products:

  - Intel NUC
  - Intel Galileo
  - Intel Edison
Now comes the Compute Stick.


The sad thing to me is that none of them are even remotely innovative.

The NUC is just a small form factor PC, exceptionally well executed but nothing new.

Galileo is a Raspberry Pi

Edison is an Arduino (sort of)

Compute Stick is a Fire TV/Android Stick

None of these could be really considered booming markets. ARM is eating Intel's lunch in the mobile market and Intel is shooting for the products that are least likely to turn a profit. If they could get a viable x86 phone on the market (or start making ARM processors) I think they'd be in much better shape.
