Intel Capital, Intel Corporation's global investment and M&A organization, announced today at the Intel Capital Global Summit new investments totaling more than $22 million in 10 startups. From disruptive, new wireless charging solutions (Chargifi*) to powerful new ways to digitally model the human body (Body Labs*) and more, the companies joining Intel Capital's portfolio are trailblazing disruptive innovation across a wide range of technologies.

"With today's announcement, we're on track to invest more than $500 million in startups in 2015," said Wendell Brooks, Intel corporate vice president and incoming president of Intel Capital. "Together with another robust group of exits, we're poised for one of the organization's strongest years ever." Today's announcement was made as the annual Intel Capital Global Summit kicked off in San Diego. Now in its 16th year, the venture capital industry's premier networking event hosts more than 1,000 founders, CEOs, innovators and change-makers for two days of company building, networking, learning and inspiration.
 
Intel is having issues with going past 12nm so they are doing what they do best. Diversify.

I thought they announced they were on track for like 7nm or something.

Whatever though, it's not like that actually matters to anyone. There's no reason for them to be in a huge hurry to get stuff to market right now because no one really needs more computing power and because there's no competitive force that's really like doing anything to push them. Which is fine since it makes things a lot better for consumers that don't feel the need to waste any money on new computer junk since new stuff isn't any better than old stuff.

IIRC i think they mentioned that it was possible to go to 7nm but the issue with things like that is bring it to the production scale and making it cost effective enough to bring that technology to the consumer level.
