Intel is developing a TV turns the direction in favor of a tablet. It is reported resource AnandTech, indicating that the company stops the development of a full set of digital television, while retaining the business of manufacturing set-top box. Previously, this line also developed least productive processor Intel Atom. Now the employees of this unit will be transferred to the newly created division engaged in the development of tablets. Thus, in the Intel fold activity of that part of the company that provided the processors and devices Boxee Box Google TV. Now, they are likely to switch to using ARM-processors. Intel has thus benefited from this reduction, because, firstly, economize staff to intensify the development of tablets, and, secondly, the reduced unit, which was uncompetitive. Despite the fact that among the main reasons for the difference in popularity between the ARM and x86 tablet is the absence of the native interface for the OS family of Microsoft Windows, available from Intel processors do not contribute to the development of this direction, because of their high power consumption. Regarding the development of set-top boxes, the problem was that their use of "computer" processor led to higher costs set the price of which was obtained in 2-3 times higher than ARM-analog, although the difference for the user did not exist.
