Handsets maybe but not handset chips

Intel has recently cooperated with Asustek Computer to release the ZenFone series smartphones with the 4-inch model priced at US$99, the 5-inch model US$149 and the 6-inch model US$199. The smartphones will be released in March, targeting mainly the China and Southeast Asia markets.

Asustek is expected to release at least three more Intel-based smartphones in the second half.

In February, Intel will announce its next-generation Merrifield-based 22nm smartphone processor, the dual-core Atom SoC (2.13GHz) at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014. The platform will feature the XMM 7160 LTE solution and NXP's PN547 NFC solution, and is set to start shipping at the end of March.
