The first smartphones with Intel processors will release Motorola and Lenovo

In 2012, Motorola Mobility and Lenovo will release the first serial smartphones based on Intel Atom processors. About this, as RIA Novosti reports, said Intel CEO Paul Othelini in his speech at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) exhibition in Las Vegas.

The K800 smartphone from Lenovo, which in the second quarter of this year will appear on sale in China, and then in other regions, should enter the market. Model from Motorola Mobile, which last summer was purchased by Google for $ 12.5 billion, is expected in the second half of this year. Both smartphones use the Google Android operating system.

According to Paul Othellin and the head of Motorola Mobility Sanya Jah, a long -term cooperation program for two companies implies the joint development of not only smartphones, but also tablet computers.

The announced devices are built on a reference hardware platform developed by Intel, the world's largest manufacturer of microprocessors. The typical configuration is not much different from the many android models present on the market (4-inch screen, support for hSPA+cellular technology, two built-in cameras, up to eight hours of conversation from one charge of the battery, video output HDMI 1080P).

Most smartphones and tablet computers are built on processors with ARM architecture, one of the advantages of which is relatively low energy consumption. All Intel attempts to enter the promising market for mobile devices were not successful.

The new generation of Intel Atom processors with the code name Medfield has reduced energy consumption, which will allow, as they hope in the company, to effectively use them in gadgets.
