Intel Smartphone Processors To Debut Early 2011

Smartphones powered by Intel processors maybe shown at the CES in January 2011, or the Mobile World Congress conference in February 2011.

"That would clearly be the window of opportunity for us," Intel CTO Justin Rattner told Wired.com.

The first smart phone powered by an Intel processor will likely debut in early 2011.

According to IDC estimates, 54.7 million smartphones shipped during the first quarter of 2010, a 56.7% rise over the same period last year.

The smartphone market is currently dominated by processors based on Intel rival ARM's architecture. Companies that have licensed the architecture include Qualcomm, Samsung and Apple.

The 32 bit RISC instruction set architecture of ARM chips makes them suitable for low power applications.

Intel earlier attempted to enter the smartphone market with its Atom processors but there were no takers, because the chips use more power than those based on the ARM architecture.

Intel is now targeting the market with its Moorestown processor.

First announced in May 2010, Moorestown is claimed to be more power efficient than ARM processor, yet packs adequate processing horsepower for video conferencing and HD video.

The system-on chip package is based on Intel's 45-nanometer process and will pack 140 million transistors.

Moorestown processors are expected to power smartphones as well as tablets.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
