Intel Wi-Fi integrated into mobile chips

Intel is trying to build mobile processor built-in Wi-Fi in order to reduce the cost of mobile devices.

Intel plans to announce details about the dual core Atom chip, codenamed Rosepoint, integrated Wi-Fi, International Conference Solid-State Circuits Conference held in San Francisco, USA from 19/2 to 23/2 .
Justin Rattner, Intel chief technology officer, said the company is still in research stage integrated wireless transceiver on silicon substrate Atom processor, helping ultrabook can operate all day even though the Wi-Fi. Justin Rattner said that this integrated chip can not hit the market soon.
Intel said it wanted to integrate Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G in the future Atom chips, expected to be used on notebook computers, smart phones, tablet PCs. In early 2011, Intel acquired the wireless unit of Infineon Technologies for $ 1.4 billion (~ 29 400 billion), a move that Intel wants to "penetrate" into the smartphone market, tablets.
ARM is considered competitors "formidable" by Intel. ARM processors can be used on most tablet PCs, smart phones. Expected end of 2012, Intel will appear on your Motorola smartphone and Lenovo, Intel's chip Clover Trail will be equipped with on board computers running Windows 8.
The chip makers such as Qualcomm has launched S4 prototype chip based on ARM architecture, integrated Wi-Fi, 3G/4G. S4 chip can run Windows 8, is directed to use for smart phones, tablet PCs, personal computer.
Dean McCarron, principal analyst of Mercury Research, said that the integration of Wi-Fi transceiver on the processor will help compact mobile devices, reducing production costs, reduce production costs. The battery life on mobile devices or laptop pretty much dependent on the amount of data transmission over wireless networks. Integrated Wi-Fi transceiver on the processor will help save battery life considerably compared to using separate Wi-Fi today.
