If you look at the most successful internet tablets upon a market currently, you’ll find that they’re powered by ARM-based chips. The Apple iPad has an Apple A4 chip, whilst a Samsung Galaxy Tab uses a Samsung Hummingbird processor. That’s probably not the outrageous warn, since these tablets have been a lot similar to smartphones, using iOS as well as Google Android instead of Windows or OS X — as well as a smartphone space has prolonged been dominated by ARM-based chips. But Intel is a 800 bruise gorilla in a PERSONAL COMPUTER space, as well as a association doesn’t wish to get cut out of the tablet marketplace.

Speaking at an eventuality yesterday dusk, Intel CEO Paul Otellini pronounced that Intel expects during least 35 tablets to come to marketplace in 2011 with Intel chips. Most will likely make use of Intel’s new Oak Trail height, that is the next era of low energy Atom chips. Unlike a ARM-based chips found in Apple and Samsung’s stream tablets, Oak Trail chips have been formed upon an x86 architecture as well as will be means to run Windows, Google Android, MeeGo, as well as other operating systems.

Intel is also making the play for a smartphone space with the arriving Medfield platform — though it looks like we won’t see those chips ship until after in 2011 and early 2012.
