Intel's tiny Curie chip will be made available next year via an Arduino development board. The company says that the new chips are designed to help scientists and engineers develop more efficient computing systems. Arduino's Curie boards are not small enough to build a wearable but it's thought that Intel and its partners will offer smaller Curie boards in the future. As well as targeting schools, the board is aimed at the burgeoning 'maker community'.

At about a centimetre wide, Curie is built for wearable devices such as smart pendants, smart bracelets, a remote-controlled car and other small gadgets that do not require a lot of local processing power.
