Following in the footsteps of other tech giants such as Cisco Systems, Intel created a new Internet of Things group and named Doug Davis, a long time veteran of Intel embedded groups, as its general manger. Davis reports to the executive office, which includes Intel's new CEO Brian Krzanich.

The Intel Internet of Things Solutions Group includes the Wind River business unit which formerly was part of Intel's datacenter division. Its main products will be Atom and Quark SoCs which Intel will enhance with Wind River software and code from other groups such as its McAfee security unit.
