Intel is ready to offer a less expensive line of mobile chips to be used in lower end notebook and tablet PCs.
The line of processors, dubbed Celeron M, are based on the same circuit design as Intel's flagship mobile chip, the Pentium M, the company said.
Celeron M chips, however, lack some of the Pentium M's features and will initially cost around 35 percent less than Pentium M, chips running at the same speed, Intel said.
Intel spent $300 million last year to market Centrino chip which combines power-efficient processors with wireless communications capability.
In the current quarter, Intel is scheduled to introduce a more powerful Pentium M processor and a more advanced chip for communication with high-speed, wireless networks.
