Intel Says It Has Chips Ready to Take Mobile-Phone Market Share

Intel Corp., seeking to break into the mobile-phone chip market after more than a decade of failed attempts, said new processors going on sale this year give it more competitive capabilities in smartphones and tablets.

The Atom x3, the company’s first chip with an integrated modem needed to connect to cellular networks, is being shipped to customers, Intel said Monday at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The company will update the processor to give it access to faster 4G wireless networks in the second half.
