Intel has never denied that the Atom chipset was primarily developed for low powered netbooks and mobile devices for emerging markets, so it doesn’t really surprise when the vice president of Intel, Stu Pann says Intel doesn’t see netbooks as a potential cannibalisation of sales of it processor.According to Pann, he believes a netbook incorporating a ten inch screen is “fine for an hour. It’s not something you’re going to use day in and day out.”That may be true but somewhat harsh that previously heard from Intel and more in line with AMD’s decision to completely ignore netbooks in favour of more capable machines of a larger size. But are people actually going to turn away from netbooks simply because Intel and AMD don’t like them?
