From the perspective of processing speed of Tablets and smartphones, performance may take a leap fulfilling the need of high-end users. By the end of the year 2011, nearly 35 different types of Tablets will be powered by Intel processors, says Paul Otellini, the CEO of Intel at Barclays Capital 2010 Global Technology Conference. Tablets made by well-known brands like Toshiba, Asus, Dell, Lenovo, Avaya and a few totaling 15 brands, will have Intel Inside. Intel powered smartphones will also be available by the same time as said by Otellini.

The Windows operating systems and Intel processor had been closely coupled which led the terminology of ‘wintel’. Apple, later, joined the duo adopting Intel’s hardware architecture for the Mac OS X systems. With the intent to even broaden the coverage, Intel is heading to support Android and MeeGo, two recently released operating systems. For Android the versions Honeycomb and Froyo will be supported.

Two versions of Atom processors will be loaded with the Tablets: Oak Trail and Moorestown. Oak Trail will be highly compatible with external devices like printers, scanners etc. Moorestown will be comparatively less compatible with peripherals and its design mainly focuses on mobile devices. Both can be loaded inside Tablets for higher data processing. The main features would be power-efficiency, high integration with mobile devices, compact design, low power consumption and increased system responsiveness.

The tremendous growth of mobile technology to serve the high demand of mobility seems to gulp the traditional market down. Smartphones and Tablets are built for universal use and are based on ARM processor technology rather Intel technology. Nearly 80 percent of the world PCs are powered by Intel Chips, though it seems that the presence of Intel in the mobile market going for a toss. To mitigate the same, Intel is now focusing on to catch up with the trend and is planning to launch a dedicated department for developing Tablets and Netbooks.
