Renowned chipmaker Intel on Friday announced that it's upcoming Atom tablet processor code-named Bay Trail would be customized for use in a new crop of computing products.

Intel said that it would repurpose Bay Trail and use it in its Celeron and Pentium chips for its next-generation entry-level laptops and desktops.

Intel passed up one of the greatest opportunities in its history by not agreeing to supply chips for Apple's original iPhone, chipmaker's former CEO Paul Otellini admitted.

Renowned chipmaker Intel has announced that its executive vice president Dadi Perlmutter would detail the company's plans for the redesign of its Atom processor.

Intel is reportedly preparing to detail the "Silvermont" architecture during an event scheduled to take place at the company's Santa Clara, California-based headquarters on May 6.

On Tuesday, chip giant Intel revealed at the Intel Developer Forum that far thinner ultrabooks, than the existing models, are apparently in the offing in the future; with the power draw of the company's forthcoming line of Core processors having been pulled down to merely 10 watts.

Chip giant Intel's new family of Core microprocessors - called the `Ivy Bridge' - is scheduled for launch at a San Francisco event on Monday; with the initial release reportedly to include 13 quad-core processors, which will largely be aimed at desktop computers. However, `later this spring', Intel will also debut dual-core processors which will chiefly target the ultrabooks.

During the course of an earnings call on Tuesday, Intel CEO Paul Otellini said that the chip giant is set to make a next week announcement about its first `Ivy Bridge' microarchitecture-based Core processors, which initially will be high-end quad-core parts for desktops and laptops rather than chips for ultrabooks.
