If Dell has their Inspiron Mini 12 now Samsung will unveil their new 12 inch netbook model to U.S. and there will be still many more to come from the company. But still Intel is not happy about the news.

The truth is the whole Netbook market is making them nervous. Even though they power most of these devices with their new Atom chip that handles some PC chores well and they use smaller and last longer batteries that uses a little power. Intel is aware that Netbooks will be for people who cannot afford to buy laptop or second devices. Even Netbooks only offer a very serious limitation, people still insist to buy it instead of a normal dual core machines.

This only means that every Netbook can be sold less Dual Core that Intel can sell this with higher prices at higher margin. That’s why Intel is really criticizing Netbooks. “If you’ve ever used a Netbook and used a 10-inch screen size–it’s fine for an hour. It’s not something you’re going to use day in and day out,” said Intel VP Stu Pann at an event last year.

And with this Intel also want to keep Netbooks at 10 inches or less, also some PC companies have spoken about the issue with that they say Intel doesn’t want Atom chips to be bigger than 10 inches. Dell’s Inspiron uses an Atom chip anyway but Samsung is using Via’s competitive and less expensive chip namely the “Nano.”
