AMSTERDAM, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Personal computer heavyweights Microsoft (NasdaqNM:MSFT - News) and Intel (NasdaqNM:INTC - News) will have their first joint mobile phone hit the market this autumn, as shown to consumers by Taiwan's MiTAC (Taiwan:3005.TW - News) on Tuesday.
It is also set to be the first mobile phone to use a core chipset by Intel, the world's largest semiconductor maker. Samsung and Motorola will use Intel chips in certain mobile phone models due towards the end of the year.


This is a big win for intel, in trying to move outside of PC/Server chips. New markets means new revenue. Good for them.
