DigiTimes reports Intel will offer a subsidy of $10 for each Intel-based tablet PC to attract first-tier notebook vendors:
The sources pointed out that the PRC Plus plan is to use Intel processor's advantage of stronger performance than ARM-based processors and improve on the operating system's user interface and user experience. The new plan is also expected to save costs from Windows licensing fees for downstream vendors.

In addition to pushing an Intel/Android 3.0 platform, Intel is also set to adopt a similar strategy as in the PC industry and pay a subsidy of US$10 for each Intel CPU-based tablet PC to attract first-tier notebook vendors.
