performance and value smartphone market segments.

New Smartphone Customer Engagements

Building on strategic engagements with Motorola
Mobility Inc.* and Lenovo*,
Intel detailed new device relationships with Orange, Lava International
Ltd. and ZTE.

Yves Maitre, Orange senior vice president of Mobile Multimedia and
Devices, joined Otellini to discuss
a new Orange smartphone based on the Intel® Atom™
processor Z2460 reference design. Housed in a sleek body, the design
enables rich entertainment experiences and Orange services, including
Orange TV, Daily Motion, Deezer, Orange Wednesdays and Orange Gestures.
The Orange smartphone will be available in the United Kingdom and France
later this summer.

Intel also announced plans to enter the high-growth market for
smartphones in India through an alliance with Lava International Ltd.,
one of the fastest-growing Indian mobile handset companies. Vishal
Sehgal, Lava co-founder and board director, announced the launch of XOLO
Smartphone by Lava. The XOLO X900 is based on Intel’s smartphone
reference design and will be the first Intel technology-based smartphone
in the India market. The device will be available from top retail
outlets early in the second quarter of 2012 and will support major
Indian cellular networks.

Similar to its previously announced partnership with Motorola Mobility,
Intel also announced a multi-year mobile device collaboration across
smartphones and tablets with global handset maker ZTE. Mr. He Shiyou,
executive vice president and head of the Terminal Division of ZTE,
discussed how his company’s alliance with Intel will enable ZTE to move
faster and create unique and differentiated products for wireless
operators. He also announced that ZTE’s first Intel-powered mobile
device is scheduled to debut in the second half of 2012.

Expanding Smartphone SoC and Communications Roadmaps

Building on its ecosystem engagements, Intel announced plans for three
new smartphone SoC products that expand the company’s portfolio from the
performance-to-value market segments.

Extending the leading performance and energy efficiency of the Intel™
Atom® processor Z2460, formerly codenamed “Medfield,” Intel
announced that the platform will now support speeds up to 2GHz.

Intel also announced the Atom™ Z2580 processor that doubles the
performance of the Atom processor Z2460, and features an advanced
multimode LTE/3G/2G solution. Intel will sample the Z2580 in the second
half of the year with customer products scheduled in the first half of
2013.

Addressing the growing handset opportunity in emerging markets where
consumers look for more value at lower prices, Intel disclosed plans for
the Intel® Atom™ processor Z2000.

The Z2000 is aimed squarely at the value smartphone market segment,
which industry sources predict could reach up to 500 million units by
2015¹. The platform includes a 1.0 GHz Atom CPU offering
great graphics and video performance, and the ability to access the Web
and play Google Android* games. It also supports the Intel® XMM 6265 3G
HSPA+ modem with Dual-SIM 2G/3G, offering flexibility on data/voice
calling plans to save on costs. Intel will sample the Z2000 in mid-2012
with customer products scheduled by early 2013.

Building on these 32nm announcements, Otellini discussed how the Atom™
processor will outpace Moore’s
Law and announced that Intel will ship 22nm SoCs for carrier
certification next year, and is already in development on 14nm SoC
technology.

In 2011, Intel shipped in more than 400 million cellular platforms.
Building on this market segment position, Intel announced the XMM
7160, an advanced multimode LTE/3G/2G platform with support for
100Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink, and support for HSPA+ 42Mbps. Intel
will sample the product in the second quarter with customer designs
scheduled to launch by the end of 2012.

Intel also announced that it is sampling the XMM
6360 platform, a new slim modem 3G HSPA+ solution supporting 42Mbps
downlink and 11.5Mbps uplink for small form factors.

Building Better Experiences on Intel Architecture

Intel’s strategy is to create and enable engaging, consistent, aware and
secure user experiences across a range of mobile devices.

An emerging trend is the use of mobile devices to enable secure online
and retail commerce. Otellini welcomed John Partridge, President, Visa
Inc., who announced a strategic
multi-year alliance to develop mobile commerce solutions tailored to
consumers in developed and developing countries.

The effort includes collaboration across a range of Visa mobile services
and Intel® Atom™-based smartphones and tablets to deliver compelling and
secure user services. As a first step, Partridge announced that Intel’s
smartphone reference design is now certified for Visa
payWave* mobile financial transactions. This means that customer
products based on Intel’s smartphone reference design will have
time-to-market support of Visa mobile services.

Building on its collaboration with Google,
Intel continues to work closely with ISVs to help ensure the majority of
Android apps run on Intel Atom processor-based devices. Otellini
discussed how Intel has all the right tools and expertise to support the
robust mobile application developer ecosystem.
