Intel is not just a MicroP company any more. Stan Wednesday November 28 5:27 PM ET Intel Sees Big Role for Communicatio Chips By Edmund Klamann dailynews.yahoo.com TOKYO (Reuters) - Intel Corp aims to generate close to one third of its revenues from communications products several years from now, although its processors may not soon dominate in mobile phones as they do in PCs, an executive said on Wednesday. Hans Geyer, general manager of the cellular communications division at the world's biggest chipmaker, said Intel's new chip architecture for wireless terminals was gaining acceptance. ``Out of all the different proposals on how to design cellphones, this is the architecture that has by far the broadest support from the industry,'' he told a news briefing. Although Intel holds a commanding share of the market for microprocessors in personal computers, its is considered a late-comer to the market in processors for mobile phones. But Geyer said the company had moved into the top ranks among communications chip makers in terms of revenues and noted that NEC Corp (6701.T), Japan's biggest cellphone maker, was using an Intel processor in third-generation (3G) handsets for NTT DoCoMo (news - web sites) Corp (9437.T), Japan's dominant wireless carrier. Last month, DoCoMo launched the world's first commercial 3G service, which offers much faster transmission speeds and advanced functions such as video-conferencing.
