The FTN Midwest analyst, JoAnne Feeney has expressed her opinion that the new Apple iPhone generation will use the Intel Atom processors. This fact should occur in 2009-2010.
Let's notice, that this information has not yet found an official confirmation. However, the use of inexpensive processors with low energy consumption (exactly like Intel Atom is) can bring to the company a significant income of 250 million dollars from 25 million of sold iPhones.
