I-Intel iya kuhamba yomelele ngo-2014 ukuze ifumane indawo kwimarike yethebhulethi ye-Android. Sifumana ulwazi kwimithombo engaziwa phakathi kwabavelisi beethebhulethi kunye nobungqina be-CEO yenkampani, uBrian Krzanich, obhengeza umgaqo-nkqubo wamaxabiso ongqongqo kwezi zixhobo, ekwazi ukubona. Iipilisi ze-Android ezineprosesa ye-Intel Atom ye-$ 99.
I-Digitimes ibithetha nabafowunelwa babo phakathi kwabavelisi kwaye isixelela ukuba amaxabiso e-Atom processors ehle kakhulu. Iitshiphusi zenkampani yaseMelika iya kuthengisa phakathi kwe-$ 15 kunye ne-$ 20, emele ukuncipha kweedola ezili-12 kumaxabiso aphethweyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.
I-Intel sele isasaza iitshiphusi ze-Atom ukusuka kusapho lwe-Bay Trail kulo nyaka, njenge-Z3740 kunye ne-Z3770 ngamaxabiso e-32 kunye ne-37 yeedola ngokulandelelanayo, ezi zimbini zokugqibela zezona zinamandla kumgca. Nangona ixabiso eliphantsi, i-architecture I-ARM isahleli inokhuphiswano ngakumbi okomzuzwana.
Amaxabiso adlulileyo, aphantsi ngaweprosesa ezithobekileyo kwaye apho banokulwa nabakhuphisana nabo i-NVIDIA, iQualcomm kunye neMediaTek.
U-Krzanich usanda kuqinisekisa kwintetho nabahlalutyi bezemali ukuba unethemba lokuba abavelisi banokuthoba amaxabiso eetafile ze-Android ngokusekwe kumacandelo ayo ukuya kuthi ga kwi-99 yeedola. Amaxabiso amahle ezixhobo ezise-Intel azipheli apho, i Iilaptops ezineetshiphusi ze-Haswell ziya kuqala kwi- $ 299.
Siza kubona kwakhona iimodeli ezineeprosesa zeBay Trail ezikhankanywe ngasentla ezinefomathi yencwadana enezikrini zokuchukumisa kunye neemodeli eziguquguqukayo ukuya. Windows 8.1 tablets ukuba bakholelwa ukuba baya kukhuphisana namava abonelelwa ngoluhlu oluphakathi kunye neepilisi eziphezulu ze-Android kunye nee-iPads. Kwimeko yeemodeli ezinale fomati kodwa ezisebenzisa iiprosesa Haswell, ixabiso lokuqala liya kuba kwi IRandi ye349.
Ekugqibeleni, i-Intel yenza konke okusemandleni ukwenza iikhomputha ngeechips zayo zibe nomtsalane kakhulu ngokwembono yezoqoqosho. Oku kuchonga enye yeengxaki zokulahla i-PC, ukuhluka kwexabiso layo xa kuthelekiswa namacwecwe aphantsi.
