Intel wants to protect her until the last chip market share on mobile devices and will not let that ARM is strengthened in this area. Mooly Eden, Intel vice president, attended a conference of investors, carrying two mysterious device. The chip maker American Intel was the first to bet on the netbook launching its Atom platform, but currently does not yet seem ready to attack the mobile market related, such as the tablet.
With the announcement of the new Intel Atom Z600, the situation will change and the Santa Clara company is preparing to enter this segment, hitherto reserved for ARM. Although Apple iPad with its CPU based on ARM Cortex-A8 is having some success, Intel wanted to show the equivalent products and multifunctional, but with x86 architecture. Conference for investors and financial analysts, Mooly Eden led a tablet and a touchscreen netbook with Atom dual core processors.
“You have the USB, you have the SATA interface, memory cheaper and can connect a printer. And the performance? You will have a dual core,” indicated by a comparison with the Eden iPad tablet, without naming it. Paul Otellini, Intel CEO, had reported recently that the annual growth of sales of the tablet is between 73% and 88%, with a potential market of 50 million to 60 million units next year.
Mooly Eden has also stressed the ease with which a dual core processor supports multitasking on a tablet that can integrate Windows 7, or Android Moblin (and therefore probably Meego long term). The dual core Atom CPU for Netbook Pineview should be announced in early June and will be followed by many product launches. Intel has already released a dual core Atom processor, part of the previous generation but is intended primarily to nettop.
