Atom market on track, says Intel

From Digitimes -

Intel has refuted recent market reports claiming demand its Atom processor is slowing, especiallyh in China. While not directly addressing the issue, the company noted that it provided complete mobile product lines and it recently released the higher-end CULV-baed chipsets. As such a slowing of Intel Atom demand for some makers would be expected, as they shift to the higher-margin CULV-based products. And while most China-based netbook makers are not major players and are not expected to compete in the CULV market but will continue to focus on Atom-based products, demand and supply for the processor remains sufficient there, though supply is tightening for other IC components.
