Intel reveals Quad-Core, LTE-capable Medfield chips are on the way
Intel's curious decision to shun the US and release Medfield-powered smartphones in India, China, Russia and the UK might be because of those countries' underdeveloped levels of LTE. Marketing chief Sumeet Syal told TechCrunch that its current-generation x86 system-on-chip won't support the standard, but a capable version will arrive at the end of the year -- with production ramping up in 2013. He also let slip to the site that dual-core versions will arrive shortly, each core theoretically able to beast its rivals thanks to Intel's hyper threading know-how. Syal said that Santa Clara is "comfortable" with its progress just months after entering the smartphone space but declined to discuss numbers -- for which we'll have to wait for the Q3 earnings call in October to find out how well (or not) it's really doing.
