Microprocessor giant Intel Corp, on the verge of a major product launch, found a defect in one of its chips, which could affect its credibility at a time when demand for microprocessors in PCs is being threatened.

The CEO of Nvidia learned how demanding mobile devices can be when he tried to demonstrate a tablet computer at the International Consumer Electronics Show.

Intel Corp unveiled its next-generation microchips Wednesday morning at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, saying their superior graphics and content protection capabilities marked one of the company’s most important breakthroughs.

A joint venture by Intel Corp, Samsung Electronics and Toshiba Corp is looking to develop technologies in the hopes of cutting semiconductor line widths by half to nearly 10 nanometers by 2016.
