January 2012 Archives

One from David Manners' Mannerisms blog:
Intel's Medfield chip-set aimed at getting the company into smartphones has been dissed by ARM CEO Warren East.

"Are they ever going to be the leaders in power efficiency? No, of course not," East told Reuters at CES.

"It's inevitable Intel will get a few smartphone design wins," added East.
One to note for the future, perhaps, regarding the recent CES and the mobile-oriented Medfield chip - a flag-in-the-sand for Intel's low-power, battery-life friendly processor that will aim take on ARM in the embedded space.

At CES, Intel has announced that its new processor will be used by Motorola Mobility and Lenovo in upcoming Android-based smartphones, reports the BBC.
