Changing the chip could lower the price, making it more appropriate for Samsung's target market of students, health-care workers and traveling businessmen
Samsung Electronics America Inc. plans to change the processor in its Q1 Ultra Mobile PC, replacing a chip from Intel Corp. with one from Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), according to a published account.
Samsung has seen weak sales for its US$1,100 tablet since launching it in May. Changing the chip could lower the price, making it more appropriate for Samsung's target market of students, health-care workers and traveling businessmen.
