INTEL HAS TEAMED up with Google in a bid to speed up its entry into the smartphone market.
Intel will work with Google to optimise the Android operating system for its Atom processors.
The chip maker hopes to have more smartphones, as well as servers, running on its technology in the near future.
Currently, only a handful of mobiles run on Intel chips. To break into the market fully, Intel will need to develop lower-power chips.
Intel chief executive Paul Otellini and Google’s senior vice president of mobile Andy Rubin announced the partnership at Intel’s annual technology forum in San Francisco yesterday.
Otellini said the first Intel-powered smartphones will come online in 2012, reports the Wall Street Journal.
“Every time we collaborate with Google, good things come out,” he said. “I’m excited and have high expectations around this as well.”
