People have had pocket-sized computers on their person since the late 2000s in the form of smartphones, so something like Intel’s Compute Card might seem unnecessary. However, it’s simply a fact that most smartphones are unable to keep up with even low-end computers in terms of performance. On the other hand, there’s the PC the size of a credit card that equipped with i5 processors.
Just to be clear, the Compute Card is basically just a small casing that houses all the typical hardware that comes with normal PCs. It doesn’t have a screen built into it or a touchpad. Even so, the unit comes with plenty of options to suit the different needs of customers as showcased during Computex, The Verge reports.
During the event, several of Intel’s partners showed off how the Compute Card did when paired with their own offerings. Some are creating mini PCs to complement the hardware while others are partnering the device with tablets.
Conspicuously absent are the usual Intel partners HP, Lenovo, and Dell. It seems these companies are keeping their own products a secret for a future surprise. Intel assures that the firms really are working on their own offers, however, so that’s a matter settled, at least.
In terms of the specifications, customers have the choice to either go with an efficient Celeron setup for the processor or the aforementioned i5. It also comes with 4GB or RAM and the file storage comes up to 128GB. Unfortunately, the size of the hardware restricts the type of storage that customers get, so this will be a flash setup.
The tiny hardware will also come with AC 8265 wireless networking and Bluetooth 4.2, TechCrunch reports. To spread the popularity of the device, Intel is even offering the Compute Card Device Design Kit to developers.
