Intel Atom processor is too high power consumption

Though, Intel has invested a lot on its mobile processor for smart phones and tablets, but situation is still not good enough. Now, ARM has already occupied most market. But recently, some bad news to Intel rolled out. HP Slate tablets may abandon Intel Atom processor. The reason is quite simple, its power consumption is too high, battery life is not long enough.

As estimation, HP Slate may adopt processors of ARM framework, and add more products with Android OS. Now, HP has Android tablets and Windows tablets as well. In India, HP launched some phablets with Android OS and small size screen. But market response is not very good.

HP has acquired the operation system from Palm, and rename it WebOS. And soon it launched several products with WebOS. But the sales was not good, so HP stopped all projection about WebOS, and sold it to LG.

After that, HP chose Android and Windows OS. Now, HP has already quit the market of smart phone.

Now, in smart phone market, there is few products with Intel Atom processor, the reason is its power consumption is much higher than ARM, and performance is lower.
