LG W990 Mobile Phone with Intel Moorestown Chip is First in the World

February 26, 2010 · Filed Under Cell Phones/Mobile Phones · Comment

Intel’s Keynote presentation at CES 2010 had the LG W990 mobile phone as the star example of Intel’s bid to sell its Moorestown platform for next-gen smartphones. LG W990 looks very much like the new LG Chocolate BL40 and BL20v models and Moorestown is being predicted to break Qualcomm’s majority share of smart phone processors. Intel’s Atom processors have become the industry standard for netbooks and small laptops. The microchip giant is aiming to achieve this feat again on the smart phone segment. Compared with the LG Projector Phone review, we’re inclined to give this a bit higher rating for having a very powerful chipset.
