I don't know about the chipset issue, and yes this is an important point.
But the biggest move that points to the seriousness of their approach , is moving to selling ATOM cores at TSMC.
selling cores is a low margin business, but it makes sense to enable fast time to market , and high integration, which are important for consumer products.
That of course that doesn't mean that intel would win, but i think they seriously try.
- hga 16y agoWHOA! OK, absolutely yes, Intel is deadly serious about this market given that they did that. On the other hand it looks like they've got a customer demand problem with this attempt: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/24/a-tie-up-between-intel-and-tsmc-fizzles/ http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/24/a-tie-up-between-in...; the partnership is on "hiatus" as of the end of February but Intel hasn't given up. And on the third hand, much of the commentary I found on the net suggests that Intel has a disruptive technology problem here. Until they have a few notable successes that may be the way to bet, however hard they are trying.
- ippisl 16y agoexcept for tsmc , intel also works hard on developing it's own SOC: "LG Unveils GW990 Smartphone with Intel's Moorestown Platform " jan2010. so intel has one design win for it's platform. Also they have moorsetown-w which supports windows.i wonder what would a windows capable phone would look like.
