Intel positions to take on ARM

PC MAG:  Intel Positions Medfield Chips to Take On ARM
 The chip giant is preparing to show off its new mobile System-on-a-Chip (SoC), codenamed Medfield, at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. Intel has "reference designs" of tablets and smartphones (like the one pictured at left) that sport its new Atom-branded SoC and run Google's popular Android mobile operating system.
