I'd love to have an Intel-powered x86 phone that ran full windows, but no one makes it.

I surprised there is any "demand" for an intel powered smartphone.

I am glad to read this article. Intel has been bullish for a long time now and deserves to lose their throne.

Intel is far from being in danger of losing their "throne"....

Intel would probably have more luck, if the were phones containing their processors sold in more countries. You can't focus solely on "emerging markets" and expect to grow appreciable market share. I'd love to have a WP8 or Android phone with an Intel processor, if they were available in the US through normal channels.

I don't think its true unless they are having very difficult time integrating the modem onto the SOC! They just showed their roadmap till 2015 in analyst day. Intel has no option but to make phones to be relevant in mobile market. And they HAVE to make tablets since they are replacing PCs.

All they have to do is stick to what they are good at, cpus. The customers want more processing power while using less power be it server, desktop or laptop, with a gpu stuck in some models, remember giving customers you have what they want makes money. If they continued to increase processing power instead of concentrating on a saturated phone market eventually all phone manufactures would come to them since they have the expertise in producing very powerful cpus. The reason for thinking like this, well phones are getting more powerful every year and the crossover point is on the horizon where phones and pc's cross. That's when intel should use all its experience in the cpu field to come in and scoop up the business, not before. How much power does a phone really need? is there a limit? no
