In a move to expand its market share in the cell phone market, Intel introduced new chips for cell phones that support next-generation data networks and are powerful enough to handle video conferencing.
Intel has struggled to win over cell phone makers. Last year, it reorganized the business and took a $600 million fourth-quarter charge after the unit failed to meet expectations.
The company's upcoming offering, code-named Hermon, can support dual radio modes and includes features that will help reduce the number of dropped calls as well as improve signals on third-generation 3G networks.
Intel demonstrated a prototype that supports three wireless radios in the same device, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GSM/GPRS, a cell phone standard. Eventually, Intel plans to further reduce the size of the individual components by integrating more features into fewer chips.
