Netbook challenge from rival to Intel

12 января 2009

Qualcomm plans to challenge Intel for dominance in the fast-growing market for mini laptop computers, or netbooks, and expects many companies to use its chips in devices this year.

Intel's Atom chips power most netbooks, but Paul Jacobs, chief executive of the leading US mobile phone chip maker, expects Qualcomm's Snapdragon to break that trend this year.

"Intel is trying to figure out how to get into the smart phone space; they call them 'mids' [mobile internet devices], trying to change the name," he said.
