LG could introduce Intel-powered smartphone at CES

A year after it made smartphone history by

introducing the dual-core Optimus 2X at CES

2011, LG is set to do it again at the upcoming

2012 show .

According to a report published today in the Korea Times, LG

will use its time at CES in two weeks to introduce the first

Android smartphone running on an Intel chipset.

Though the Korea Times was unable to confirm the leaks

with LG or Intel spokespeople, the publication quoted

executives from both companies who predicted the launch.

This isn't the first time that LG and Intel have collaborated on a phone at CES, but like so many products displayed

at the show, the previous device never made it to market.

If LG actually follows through on the rumor it may have better luck this time around, but the company will face

more competition from other technologies in Las Vegas including a possible HTC device running on new Nvidia

Tegra 3 1.5 GHz quad-core processor.
