Intel is expected to formally introduce its chip for smart phones this week, ahead of next week's 3GSM Congress wireless trade show.
The chip, code-named Manitoba, will offer enough processing power for more sophisticated applications, while its integrated design will allow longer battery life, according to Intel.

Manitoba, also known as the "wireless Internet on a chip," integrates flash memory, a digital signal processor and an XScale processor core onto a single chip. It will be targeted at mobile phone makers developing products for high-speed wireless networks, such as GPRS (General Pack Radio Service) networks. Manitoba will help in the development of phones that let people wirelessly access the Web and play audio files, as well as make basic phone calls.
