Intel mobile chips "fastest ever"
Tests on the first mobile phones to run on chips powered by Intel show that the devices are faster than rivals already on the market. The website Anandtech carried out ‘benchmarking' tests designed to assess the relative performance of Intel's ‘Medfield' Atom chip. The site found that Intel's chip could run Javascript at a test time of 1,331.5ms, compared to 2,250ms for the latest iPhone and 3,727.4ms for the Samsung Galaxy S2, while retaining battery. Intel has previously struggled to gain a foothold in the smartphone market because it failed to produce chips with a high processing power that also had a long battery life. However, the firm has now inked a deal with LG to produce smartphones using its new chips, while Motorola has signed a multi-year agreement, with its first devices running on Intel chips expected in the second half of this year. Intel is also reportedly in talks to bring its Medfield chip to Apple's next iPhone model.
