Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) is also up this morning as the techie continues to push its new dual-core Atom System on Chip platform for smartphones and tablets, called Clover Trail+. Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) has been a latecomer to the mobile game, but will also be offering a new 4G LTE modem that can support multiple devices — all in an effort to steal back some of the market share from ARM Holdings plc (ADR) (NASDAQ:ARMH). Intel has also taken another big step, by agreeing to manufacture chips on behalf of Altera Corporation (NASDAQ:ALTR), in a move that will open up its impressive manufacturing capabilities to customers on a large-scale basis. This may allow Intel to begin fighting for a spot at the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) table — a very lucrative place for a tech manufacturer to be.
