Two Intel Chips in Lenovo Smartphon

That is encouraging. Lenovo is a very important customer for Intel, for PC and mobile. Lenovo is big in the smartphone business and well prepared for the ongoing commoditisation of smartphones, which is very similar to the PC market today. Motorola already has been an Intel customer and also Lenovo has, so Intel really needs to deliver some designs that are competitive to stay in their portfolio until they can deliver technically superior mobile SoCs (hope that's going to be the case 2016). Once that happens, Lenovo will likely implement mostly Intel chips since they have a strong partnership with them from the PC space already. Once the case, others will likely use Intel as well.

I was reading about a Merrifield based Lenovo Vibe before. If that's the case, it is painful to see Intel to have a device after more than one year of the initially planned release of Merrifield (at a time it already wasn't that competitive either). Seeing Intel failing so bad in mobile is just a shame. This company really needs a kick in the butt (hope Krzanich is just doing that).
