When asked to comment on what some makers are saying about market demand, Intel pointed out that it does not comment on its clients' strategy or their supply and demand status. However, the company did note that it provides complete mobile product lines to satisfy its clients' demand.
One way of interpreting Intel's comment is to note that the company is not commenting on any one processor, but its complete mobile product lines. It is no secret that with the release of the CULV-based notebooks, Intel and notebook makers will have to adjust their product lineups to make room in the market for the new notebooks. A slowing of Intel Atom demand for some players would be expected, as they gear up for their higher-margin CULV-based products.
