Intel looking for more partners to bet on its mobile platform

Intel India is in talks with a number of channel partners, original design manufacturers (ODMs) and chassis vendors to offer All-in-One (AIO) computers, which as a segment have been growing steadily, a top company official said Wednesday.

"AIO desktops are gaining traction in the desktop market, driven mostly by the consumer segment, where their share is expected to grow steadily and hit 33 percent by the end of 2015," said Rajiv Bhalla, director, sales and marketing.

"In India, the shipments for AIOs have been growing steadily for the last five quarters with an average of 50,000 shipments per quarter. Intel is in talks with channel partners, ODMs and chassis vendors to develop system solutions," added Bhalla.

He said the AIOs will revive the desktop market which has witnessed a four percent growth year-on-year.

"Last year 2,60,000 units of AIOs were sold in India. We are expecting the sale of AIOs will revive the desktop segment which has been growing just by four percent.

The company, which launched smart phones recently, is looking for new partners.

"Currently, we have Lava as our partner in India, Orange in Europe and Lenovo in China for the smart phones. We are looking for more partners globally," added Bhalla.
