When did Aicha Evans get back to Intel? I thought she left in 2016. The whole mobile team was so enthusiastic back then, acknowledging they were behind on baseband but they just needed a bit of time. Not enough time, it turns out.
As for 5G, looks like Intel wants to get into IoT and connected autonomous stuff. They were so far behind on 4G consumer terminals that they probably felt it was better to jump one generation to try to leapfrog the competition.
I am interested only in the faster speeds that 5G brings and better coverage. I won't buy any other product with 5G apart from a phone. I really don't like the thought of having my fridge, my TV, my shoes, my tooth brush and my toilet brush all connected to the internet. I don't even want to think about the amount of radiation that we will have because of all these interconnected devices. I know there are studies and they "prove" that these radiations are harmless to us, but in what quantity? How can they limit that quantity when we will have all things connected? Progress is when you look at your choices and you choose to do something that will improve your way of life, yes, but this will cause a LOT of health issues that will, for sure, be unrelated or clinically proven to be linked with radiations. In the end, it is all about the money, so who cares...
Interesting capabilities. I haven't read a definitive guide what 5G really is. For example, if it uses those millimeter wave frequencies, it must have the characteristics of 802.11ad?

She never left. She was promoted to Chief Strategy Officer last year. https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2016/04/25/...yeeeeman - Sunday, February 25, 2018 - link

I think you can rest easy on the toilet brush. Throne itself handles that.zodiacfml - Monday, February 26, 2018 - link

So it would be like 802.11ad but with public access points controlled by carriers? The backhaul requirements would be massive compared to LTE.neo_1221 - Monday, February 26, 2018 - link
I've been curious about that too - it would be great if Anandtech did a 5G primer *hint hint*
