Atom market on track, says Intel

By

While recent market reports have some makers claiming that demand for the Intel Atom processor is slowing while other players, notably in the China market, are saying that supply is tight for netbook IC components, Intel has weighed in on this issue by indicating that its processor supply is on track and the chip giant is not seeing any slowdown.

One way of interpreting Intel’s comment is to note that the company is not commenting on any one processor, but its complete mobile product lines. It is no secret that with the release of the CULV-based notebooks, Intel and notebook makers will have to adjust their product lineups to make room in the market for the new notebooks. A slowing of Intel Atom demand for some players would be expected, as they gear up for their higher-margin CULV-based products.
