Strategy after decade-long stint with AMD, Intel's lead rival, said the 'chipzilla' has a good chance of
success.
"I believe Intel can attain at least 10-20% unit share in smartphones and 50% unit share in tablets
costing $299 and above by 2014," said Moorhead. "Medfield (the processor that powers Xolo X900) is
very competitive on delivering a good experience at low power and will get even more competitive as
Intel moves to 22nm and new architectures. At 14nm, the company will be a force to reckon with."
Traditionally, Intel has held a massive advantage in manufacturing of silicon chip and has used it to the
good effect in traditional computer market. This is something Prashanth Adiraju, director for new
platforms at Intel (South Asia) highlighted. "Unlike competition (read ARM) we design, optimize and
manufacture the complete chip. This is our competitive advantage," he said.
The world of technology is in state of flux. Last year, Microsoft had announced that Windows 8 would
run on ARM processors, ending the decades-old Microsoft-Intel partnership, often dubbed Wintel by
analysts. On the same day, Intel announced it would partner with Google to bring Android to X86
platforms, something that set in motion the process which led to the launch of Xolo X900.
