Intel could enter HDMI dongle market

Intel could be the next company to enter the HDMI dongle market in competition with Google’s successful Chromecast product, according to various reports.

Intel’s SVP and general manager, PC client group, Kirk Skaugen, unveiled a device at an Intel investor conference in Santa Clara, California, but did not give details of its capabilities beyond saying it could be inserted into the port of a smart TV or other monitor.

Skaugen said the stick would “bring intelligence” to other devices and could be seen as an extension to laptops and mini-desktops.
