PC World reports that Intel is seeking a reboot in the tablet market with its upcoming Atom Z2760 chips code-named Clover Trail



Many of the tablets currently in the labs are planned for release in conjunction with Microsoft's Windows 8, a touch-optimized OS due for release later this year. Asus at Computex announced the Asus Tablet 810 with an 11.6-inch screen, Intel's Clover Trail processor and the Windows 8 OS. Lenovo has already said it will release a ThinkPad tablet with Windows 8 running on Intel chips, and Dell has said it would release a Windows 8 tablet later this year.

Intel currently offers the Atom chip code-named Oak Trail for tablets, which is used by companies like Hewlett-Packard and Dell in Windows 7 tablets. But the new Clover Trail chip signals a new start for Intel in the tablet space.
