what does this signal about where intel is headed? >> both companies i think especially intel, are just becoming more market driven. >> where am i going -- >> but it's about really becoming market driven. and we'll go where the market goes. as you've seen android grow, we've gone out and gotten into android. we're still the only company that can go ios, chrome, android, windows, on the same device. >> one of the things that you're moving into beyond the pc is embedded systems, showing that your chips aren't big and hot, you can also do more emotional things. robots here. tell me about this one because it's lower cost than some of the other robots we've seen show up. you say this one can be a hobbiest. >> the robots you've seen today, 15, $16,000. that's what we showed on stage today. this robot is about $1600. it's powered with the new edison chip and it's really designed as a development platform and something for hobbyists. >> and this one can get up and -- cause some mayhem, but it can do quite a bit. now, i also want to talk about

intel you make sure that is part of this movement? >> i think it's by having days like today.le group focused on this. these are the groups who are the -- next steve jobs, next google. these people are being raised with technology and innovation and not as what we've seen over the last couple of years. aware of intel technology and what we are capable of doing, and if we are not aware of what their needs are, we're not going to line up together. >> that was cory johnson's exclusive interview with intel's ceo. >> ibm dominated the computer market for decades. it has been facing eight straight quarters of revenue decline. plummeting hardware sales, concerns about financial reporting, and today, cloud computing. reports on why big blue just can't catch a break. he joins us now. they almost got completely out of the hardware business. why can't they deal with the -- the cloud? companies are not buying big. >> what do they have left, by the way, after selling the computer business? >> they still have high-end servers that they say are ready for the era of big data. as hardware sale
