I-Intel izoqina ngo-2014 ukuze ithole amandla amakhulu emakethe yethebhulethi ye-Android. Sithola ulwazi oluvela emithonjeni engaziwa phakathi kwabakhiqizi bamaphilisi kanye nobufakazi be-CEO yenkampani, u-Brian Krzanich, omemezela inqubomgomo yamanani enolaka ngempela kulawa madivayisi, ekwazi ukubona Amathebulethi e-Android anephrosesa ye-Intel Atom ngo-$99.
I-Digitimes ibikhuluma nabathintana nabo phakathi kwabakhiqizi futhi isitshela ukuthi izintengo zama-Atom processors zehle kakhulu. Ama-chips enkampani yaseMelika izothengisa phakathi kuka-$15 no-$20, okubonisa ukuncishiswa kwamadola ayi-12 emananini ebesiphethwe kuze kube manje.
I-Intel isivele isabalalisa ama-Atom chips avela emndenini we-Bay Trail kulo nyaka, njenge-Z3740 ne-Z3770 ngamanani angama- $ 32 nama- $ 37 ngokulandelana, amabili okugcina anamandla kakhulu kulayini. Naphezu kokuba nenani eliphansi, i-architecture I-ARM isalokhu inokuncintisana kakhulu Okwamanje.
Izintengo zangaphambilini, eziphansi ezabakhiqizi abathobekile futhi lapho bebengalwa nezimbangi zabo i-NVIDIA, i-Qualcomm ne-MediaTek.
U-Krzanich usanda kuqinisekisa engxoxweni nabahlaziyi bezezimali ukuthi unethemba lokuthi abakhiqizi bangehlisa amanani entengo amathebulethi e-Android ngokususelwa ezingxenyeni zawo ngamadola angama-99. Izintengo ezinhle zama-PC asekelwe ku-Intel azigcini lapho, amalaptop anama-Haswell chips azoqala ku-$299.
Sizobona namamodeli anamaphrosesa ashiwo ngenhla e-Bay Trail anefomethi ye-notebook enezikrini zokuthinta namamodeli aguqulekayo ukuze Windows 8.1 amaphilisi abakholelwa ukuthi kuzoncintisana nokuzizwisa okunikezwa amathebulethi nama-iPad e-Android asezingeni eliphakathi nendawo kanye nasezingeni eliphezulu. Endabeni yamamodeli anale fomethi kodwa asebenzisa ama-processor Haswell, intengo yokuqala izoba ngo Amadola ka-349.
Ekugcineni, i-Intel yenza konke okusemandleni ukwenza amakhompyutha anama-chips awo akhange kakhulu ngokombono wezomnotho. Lokhu kukhomba enye yezinkinga zokushiya i-PC, umehluko wentengo uma kuqhathaniswa namaphilisi asezingeni eliphansi.
