During the course of Intel’s May 11 meeting with investors, the company’s CEO Paul Otellini said that it is time the industry starts considering Intel as a computing business, offering software as well as services; rather than just viewing it as a chip maker alone.

Addressing the investors, Otellini said: “Don't think of us as a chip company anymore. We are a computing company.”

Speaking about Intel’s efforts to keep pace with the changing dynamics in the computer industry, Otellini and other Intel executives largely elaborated on the manner in which they expect Intel’s earnings and revenues to depict growth in the low double digits, during the coming few years, with Intel continuing its efforts to evolve.

Intel’s continuing expansion endeavors include diversification from its core PC and server chip business to the burgeoning electronics sector – including not only handheld devices, netbooks, and tablets; but also televisions, cars, as well as software and services.

While much of Intel’s expansion will largely be based on its multifarious Atom processor platform, Intel used the investors meeting as a platform for displaying a netbook powered by a dual-core Atom chip, and a tablet running on a new Atom processor.

Further, Mooly Eden, VP and general manager of Intel’s PC Client Group, revealed that new Atom-based netbooks and tablets will also be demonstrated at Computex, to be held in Taipei, Taiwan, from June 1 to June 5.
