LONDON – Intel now has the tools in place – in particular an on-chip interconnect fabric, an extensive IP library and software – to make a success of its system-on-chip engineering effort, according to Bill Leszinske, general manager of technical planning and business development at Intel's Atom processor SoC development group.

Intel has been striving to break out of the computer sector for many years and its system-on-chip engineering group is a key part of that effort.
