Intel is planning to use the 2008 International CES to highlight its efforts to dominate the emerging mobile market.

At a briefing for reporters on Dec. 14, Intel announced that the first devices to use its new "Menlow" mobile platform will be on display at CES and then hit the market by the second quarter of 2008.

Menlow, which includes a 45-nanometer processor called Silverthorne and new chip set dubbed Poulsbo, was first discussed at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco in September. While Intel withheld additional details about the actual processor, Silverthorne is designed as a low-power chip that will form the base of a new generation of MIDs (mobile Internet devices) and UMPCs (ultra mobile PCs) that use Intel microarchitecture.
