ASUS and MSI will let out [kh]86 plane-tables under the pressure Of intel and Microsoft?

The Taiwan producers of computer technology ASUS and MSI undergo pressure from the side of the corporations Of intel and Microsoft, reports the resource Of digiTimes. The latter force producers to move the products, built on the basis of the architecture of [kh]86 despite the fact that both companies already made a decision about the reorientation to the devices on the basis of the platform NVIDIA Of tegra and with the operating system Of google Of android. As a result before the exhibition Of computex, which takes place in the beginning of June as the main things were acknowledged model on the basis of the processors Of intel (predominantly series Of atom), also, with OS Windows. The solutions on the basis of ARM- processors will be also demonstrated on this exhibition, but they proved to be moved aside to the second plan.

There is no single-valued answer to a question, as precisely Intel and Microsoft attained a change in the attitude of producers toward ARM to products. It is assumed that Intel could threaten with a change in the price policy, especially as relatively recently it communicated about the suspicion of this company of the attachment of the transactions, which make with unfavorable for its partners the use of equipment of that produced by the third companies. Microsoft has less durable positions and cannot directly influence producers “gland”, but as the most important supplier of software for the Taiwan companies (and not only); also it must have its levers of pressure.

Something similar could be observed, also, in the attitude of the company Of hewlett-Packard. Immediately by it the producer of [smartfonov] Of palm it communicated after purchase that for the change announced at the beginning of 2010 HP Of slate with OS Windows will be advanced the plane-table with OS of webOS and respectively by ARM- processor. Later this communication was it is disproved and now indicated that [planshetnik] HP will be represented by autumn and this there will be model on the platform Of intel and with the operating system from Microsoft.
