Intelintel would happily chips for Apple and other rivals, its Chief Financial Officer, said Thursday, but suggested that the company does not believe the Apple iPad and similar tablets would any tooth in the sales of portable and, consequently, company Intel core processor.
Instead of this, the tablets are an "incremental device" with limited applications that appeal to consumers, not mass market or business high-end, said Stacy Smith.
The chip manufacturer sees sales of laptops leaping before and with them, commands for processors to full power.
According to Reuters, Smith said Intel would gladly use its manufacturing could combine its exclusive architecture with the technology to other companies and might even consider to core-Intel for some customers.
"If Apple or Sony's came to us and said" I want to make a product that involves your core IA (Intel architecture) and a part of my IP around it ", I wouldn't blink." It would be great business for us, "says.
"Then you get into the soil of medium of"I do not want it's core IA, I want to make it my own heart custom-designed", and... it would be a discussion and much more in-depth analysis," Smith said.
He spoke to journalists at an Investor Conference in London with Christian Morales Chief of operations of Intel in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
"The data is data", said moral. "[Highest sales] volumes are laptops, and netbooks, and other devices.".
Netbooks have climbed to come in 2008-2010 because the economy was bad and they were cheap, said Smith. Now that the economy begins to recover, netbook sales have stagnated because consumers and businesses want computers real.
Even Apple sells a MacBook to a clip faster than iPads, said Smith. The iPad runs on a Samsung processor, while Apple uses processors Intel Core2 for MacBook.
In the worst scenarios, the tablets before travel netbooks toward the end of this year and could steal a third of the company netbook in 2013, he predicted.
