Intel and LG Electronics have announced to join hands for software platform based on the Linux Mobiln v2.0 and Moorestown silicon at the WMC in Barcelona. The coming LG device, which is a smartphone, will be the first device with Moorestown chip.

Intel’s present Atom processor has been codenamed as Moorestown, “Intel and LG have a common goal and this is to introduce a new and rich internet experience in various cell phone devices with the functionality of the present day high-end smartphones,”

Ashok Kumar, who is an analyst at Collins Stewart, says in this connection: “The basic factor to get Intel chips which will run on almost all well-known PC software is to reduce power consumption even lesser than the Atom chip which is being used in many Netbooks nowadays.”

“This will be directly housed in a smartphone,” says Kumar. Many high-end laptops are available with Intel mobile processors that have 25 to 35watts thermal envelope.”

However, the question rises whether Moorestown will be able to get silicon energy thrift for sometime. We have to see mobile phone suppliers like Texas Instruments and Qualcomm. It has been recently disclosed by Toshiba that it’s using Snapdragon chip from Qualcomm in its coming cell phone version.
