Other chip companies such as ARM, MIPs and IBM are already well-established in this market, says the Wall Street Journal.

Intel is relying on its established position in the computing market to boost its chances of success.

It is more than 10 years since Intel first predicted the advent of ubiquitous processor technology in new devices.
