Intel CEO Dogs Netbook-Powering Atom Platform as Something “Most of Us Wouldn’t Use” [D'OH]


In a quarterly conference call today, Intel CEO Paul Otellini dropped the aforementioned diss of the low-cost, low-power 45nm Atom chipset that can be found in a few current and many future netbooks, redirecting attention to the just-updated Centrino 2 and somehow-still-alive Celeron platforms as more viable for most consumers, and more profitable evidently for Intel. This goes against Otellini's "something for the next 2 billion computer users" in developing markets CEO-speak that accompanied the Atom launch. Plus who wants a netbook anyway? They're only ultra-compact, cheap, cover just about all of most folks' daily computing needs and selling like hotcakes. Sounds like nothing big to me. [Daily Tech
