US chip-maker Intel Corp is working on reducing the cost of computers to make them affordable to a vast number of people, an official said.
"In a bid to make people computer-savvy, Intel is taking steps in reducing its cost," said Ajay Bhatt, fellow at Intel Corp, a $40-billion company manufacturing chips, boards, systems, and software for the computing and communications industries.
Talking to PTI, he said the American giant was engaged in developing a technology to address the problem of virus attacks on the computer.
"Efforts are also being made in the direction of reducing the cost of maintenance of computers." Bhatt said research was on to develop a technology, 'light peak', to increase the speed of communications and making delivery faster.
