Edison is built on Intel's 22 nm process technology, runs Linux and has internal WiFi and Bluetooth modules. It can also connect to its own app store. Intel said this product is aimed at programmers. Intel CEO Brian Krzanich hopes that developers will use the computer to develop a new generation of wearable devices and connected devices.

Intel also demoed a series of " Nursery 2.0 " products using its embedded Edion chips. For example, a toy frog can give warnings to parents that their young child is in danger, through an LED on a coffee cup, or a device that warms milk begins to heat up when a device connects. Another connector (toy frog) heard the baby cry.

Intel also announced a contest called " Make it Wearable " with a reward of up to $ 1.3 million for programmers to offer products that are cool, useful devices. The details of the competition have not been disclosed, but Krzanich said the first round of the prize money could reach $ 500,000. Edison promises to be sold by Intel in mid-2014.
