Intel has signalled a refocusing of its R&D sector in an apparent bid to target the wearables market, an area hotly favoured by CEO Brian Krzanich.
The chip giant told The Wall Street Journal that what was formerly its New Devices Group will be remade as the “New Technology Group” and put under the leadership of senior veep Joshua Waldon.
The report doesn’t identify the destination within Intel for the high-profile Mike Bell, who joined Intel in 2010 after working in product development for Apple and Palm.
