2013 looks set to be Intel's big push in the smartphones arena. It has already announced the launch of its low-cost Z2420 'Lexington' platform, and we've seen products based on the chipset hit the market. First up was the Xolo X500, that was launched in India by Lava, and then came Acer's Liquid C1 that was recently unveiled in Thailand.

All these phones have been powered by single-core processors. Now, Intel looks set to up its game by unveiling its first dual-core platform. A press release on Intel's website revealed its plans to showcase a new platform at the forthcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC).

Specifically, Intel will showcase its latest smartphone technologies and devices running the Android platform, including a new dual core, dual graphics platform, as well as OEM- and service provider-supported devices based on the company's new Intel AtomTM Z2420 platform targeted at emerging markets.

In addition to the above, company also revealed its plans to showcase Windows 8 tablets and convertible designs, in addition to a range of consumer devices based on the company's wireless technologies.

It'll be interesting to see how Intel's dual-core offerings stack up in a market where most flagship phones are already powered by quad-core chips and with talk of next-generation chips from the likes of Samsung featuring as many as eight cores.
