The market for mobile devices constantly crush in all new segments. Intel attempts to fill the niche between notebook and netbook with its products CULV class . The supporters of ARM- architecture and Linux assert that future is for smartbook - the small analogs of netbook, characterized by processors with ARM- architecture and ultralow energy consumption. We do not forget also about Intel mobile Internet- devices (MID).
As reports associate with the reference to the study data of information network, Intel effort for the advance of MID- devices generally cannot justify itself, since the needs of market for pocket devices with the Internet function can be made by smart phone. Now MID- devices compose not more than 1,6% market for smart phone and MID, and even to 2012 their portion will not exceed 10%. However, in the numerical expression the market capacity in the next three years will be doubled, but in 2012 will be realized about only 37 500 MID class devices , as count experts .
Intel company is not only ready to entrust the release of MID atom processors to TSMC company , but also are assembled to release within the 32 nm more than a dozen different processors with the high integration degree . With time the quantity of supplied Intel solution system-on- chip, according to the concept of company management , can exceed the quantity of processors with x86- compatible architecture produced.
