Global chip major Intel on Thursday said smartphones with variants of its Atom processors will debut in the domestic market next year.

"Google TV, which uses Intel processors has already debuted. So are Ultrabooks and tablets with Intel processors.

Next year, you will see smartphones with Atom cores make their debut," Intel Technology India and South Asia sales director R Ravichandran told PTI on the sidelines of an Intel Cloud Summit.

He said Ultrabooks with Intel processors which have been launched here by Acer, Asus and Lenovo are expected to grow in numbers next year, when more models will be launched.

"Next year, you will see more models of Ultrabooks being launched. We expect sales volumes to go up. You will also see notebooks and Ultrabooks incorporate features of tablets and vice versa," he said.

Ravichandran said Intel has signed a deal with MasterCard two weeks ago to help discern the identities of those engaging in transactions from various computing devices like smartphones and notebooks.

"It is called Intel Identity Protection. It will help identify who is conducting an online transaction, and if that device indeed belongs to him. This will help make online transactions more secure," he said.

Intel plans to enable users of its Ultrabooks and other devices to enjoy the convenience of e-commerce while making online payments safer from malware and hackers with advanced security capabilities of Intel Identity Protection technology, he said.

The company said it sees opportunities in the computing devices space as well as the server space.

"We see opportunities in computer devices, as well as servers. More servers will have to be installed in data centres, as telecom companies add more subscribers. They will have to use cloud based technologies which we can provide. Similarly, as more devices and smartphones are sold, they will need to use our processors. So we see opportunities at both ends of the spectrum," he said.
