forbes.com "But the most promising market for Intel may lie at the core of network routers—in the processing chips, which act on the data directly by deciphering, for example, whether data are coming or going. In the past, companies have specially designed such chips to fit a specific network. Now Intel—as well as a handful of startups—is trying to pack in enough software smarts to let chips adapt to any network. Intel's secret weapon in this is the StrongArm chip, an elegant, streamlined design that consumes scant power—just the thing to serve the next generation of simple, handheld devices. But in mid-April Intel plans a surprise: It will announce plans to push versions of StrongArm for high-end switches and routers at the heart of computer networks. "What's the difference between StrongArm in a [networking] hub and in a handheld phone?" shrugs Gelsinger, Intel's vice president of the desktop products group. "They're both essentially communications devices." Translation: Intel will cheerfully sell Strong-Arm chips to companies building low-cost gizmos, just as it sells cheap Celeron chips to PC makers. But the real money lies in using StrongArm in the high end of the networking world" Regards JC.
