Intel, the worlds biggest computer chipmaker, said its next-generation chips will enable computers sold in China to feature a thinner design, longer battery life and new functions such as voice and gesture recognition within one or two years. Intel will also launch a new enhanced chip for tablet computers and mobile phones by the end of this year in the country, the company said during the Intel Developer Forum held in Beijing. The chipmakers latest moves represent its ambitions to expand in both the PC and mobile Internet sectors at a time when the popularity of mobile devices influences PC chip sales, Intels traditionally major business, industry insiders said. Intels forthcoming fourth-generation Haswell chips, with longer battery life and improved computing ability, will start shipping later this quarter. Lenovo Group and Panasonic will debut new models with Haswell soon, according to Kirk Skaugen, Intels senior vice president.
