Intel to slash 12,000 jobs (INTC)

Trading was briefly halted on Intel ahead of earnings on news that it plans to cut 12,000 jobs, or 11% of its workforce.

Here are the reported numbers for Q1 2016.

EPS (non-GAAP): $0.54 vs $0.49 expected.

Revenue: $13.8 billion vs $13.984 expected.

The company is in the middle of a revamp as it hopes to overcome a years-long slump in PC sales, and do a better job capitalizing on the rise of mobile devices, which have typically been dominated by chips designed and built by rivals like ARM and Qualcomm.

The company’s latest big push has been into the “Internet of things” — basically, getting its chips into all sorts of household and common objects to let them communicate with each other and apps over networks, including the public Internet.

Recently, an executive that Intel hired from Qualcomm, Venkata “Murthy” Renduchintala, slammed the company in an internal memo, citing “lack of product/customer focus in execution that is creating schedule and competitiveness gaps in our products." 

The company was recently reported to be planning layoffs of "thousands,” according to OregonLive.

A milestone for wearable electronics

Clothes that receive and transmit digital information are closer to reality

Researchers who are working to develop wearable electronics have reached a milestone: They are able to embroider circuits into fabric with 0.1 mm precision – the perfect size to integrate electronic components such as sensors and computer memory devices into clothing.

With this advance, the Ohio State University researchers have taken the next step toward the design of functional textiles – clothes that gather, store, or transmit digital information. With further development, the technology could lead to shirts that act as antennas for your smart phone or tablet, workout clothes that monitor your fitness level, sports equipment that monitors athletes’ performance, a bandage that tells your doctor how well the tissue beneath it is healing – or even a flexible fabric cap that senses activity in the brain.

That last item is one that John Volakis, director of the ElectroScience Laboratory at Ohio State, and research scientist Asimina Kiourti are investigating. The idea is to make brain implants, which are under development to treat conditions from epilepsy to addiction, more comfortable by eliminating the need for external wiring on the patient’s body.
