subject: Intel Continues To Support Netbooks Development [print this page] Although netbooks suffer impact by the tablet PC, Intel still holds optimistic view on the prospects for the development of netbooks. Intel said that netbooks shipments in the United States and Western European markets have declined, but in developing countries, including India and China, they are in the stage of growing volume.
The latest Atom chip supporting netbooks is invented by Intel and start to be delivered on Wednesday. On the rise stage of the Tablet PC, Intel hopes new chip products can support the development of netbooks. Development of electronic technology has also led to good sales of products within related industries, such as bluetooth keyboard for Motorola Xoom, china iphone camera lenses and so on.
Atom dual-core chip is part of the Trail in Cedar platform that can help the netbook to improve battery life and overall performance. Hewlett-Packard, Acer, Lenovo, Toshiba, Asus and Samsun and other major PC manufacturers will start in January next year selling configuration Cedar Trail chip netbooks, low at a price of $ 199.
Compared with the old chip introduced two years ago, the graphics performance of the new chip improves graph processing and the power consumption can be reduced by 20%. In the configuration of the new chip, the netbooks for a single charge can last up to 10 hours.
The Consumer Electronics Show which is the industry event will be held in Las Vegas in January next year, and is expected to show the new chips of smart phones, tablet PCs and PC.
Intel is not willing to be an insignificant player in a market. The value of the smart phone market is huge, so it has a lot of opportunities. Intel released five smart phone processors before in order to win the trust of consumers, one of the first products will be first published in the Indian market. Intel's goal is to hold more than 80% market share to stay in the PC industry's dominant position and enhance its position in the smart phone industry and income, because the trend now is that a smart phone is to take over the computer function.
For Intel in 2012, cell phone chip business will not have much impact on Intel's overall performance, but it expect that cell phone chip products will bring considerable revenue at this time next year and occupy an important position in the mobile phone chip market in the next five years.
