Intel sees a huge market for Atom processors in India

India is a land of small cars and cheap computers. Netbooks are gaining massive popularity in India due to their low costs.

Intel is one company that aims to benefit from that.

The company said that their Atom range of processors can make computing more affordable in the Indian market.

Intel said: “Atom has the potential to power products like MID, mobile banking devices, GPS monitoring devices, personal healthcare gadgets, point-of-sales terminals, and even outdoor display terminals. Atom fits well in the embedded space and devices, which deliver internet-centric experience or needs to be powered by internet. A lot of such devices are under development and may hit India soon.”

Company representative Prakash Bagri added: “MIDs have a huge potential in India, once there is availability of a robust mobile data network. This will be possible when 3G and WiMax services comes into full play.”
