Intel working on new chipset with dual-core Atom CPU and LTE 

Intel currently has only one smartphone-ready SoC on the market, but it’s already found its way inside six phone models, the most recent (and high-profile) of which is the Motorola RAZR i. The chipset packs a single Atom CPU core (with Hyper-threading enabled) but it does lack LTE, which is a big buzz word recently (especially in the US, where the RAZR i won’t be available).

The single-core Atom has shown very good performance against dual-core Cortex-A9 designs, so the dual-core version should catch up to the Tegra 3s and Exynos 4 Quads out there. 

Intel is supposed to put out a low-end Atom SoC, the Z2000, but Syal made no mention of it and refused to talk about quad-cores.
