SAN FRANCISCO/LONDON, May 4 (Reuters) - Intel Corp on Wednesday took the wraps off next-generation technology that crams more transistors onto microchips, hoping it will help the chipmaker catch up in a red-hot tablet and smartphone market.
Intel expects to start production of its first PC and server chips using new technology -- code named Ivy Bridge -- by the end of 2011 and said that it would also make new processors for mobile devices.
The cutting-edge technology -- which Intel says breaks new ground by moving away from flat circuitry to a three-dimensional model -- may pose a threat to rival ARM Holdings, which dominates the mobile device market.
And then again it may not,I expect sp to recover pretty quick.
