Intel hit Computex Tuesday with enough design-wins in hand to put its newfangled netbook-, nettop- and MID-bound Atom chips in short supply at least for the next six-eight weeks, it said.

The manufacturing giant confessed last week to hiccups with its new more conventional laptop-bound Centrino 2 chips and chipset that will delay volume production until August.

Intel claims the emergence of netbooks is going to push mobiles over the top this year. It says it expects more mobile parts to sell this year than desktops for the first time.

Acer, for instance, thinks it can sell maybe five-seven million of its new Aspire One nine-inch mini-laptops this year and 15 million-20 million of the things next year. They’re supposed to go for around $399-$499 and could move through mobile telecom operators and Internet service providers as well as conventional channels. It will be up against competition from low-cost leader Asustek with its new Atom-based Eee PCs – including tiny no-more-than $299 Eee Box desktops – and mini-notebooks models from the HP, Dell, Elitegroup and Micro-Star.

Asustek, which has designs on being the fifth-largest laptop maker by 2010, expects to sell 10 million Eees next year.

All the MID widgets seem to run both Windows and various species of Linux. Take your pick.

Intel expects to ship 100 million Atoms by 2011 into a market worth $40 billion by then. It is charging $44 apiece for the newly unveiled N270 netbook Atoms and $29 apiece for the N230 nettop Atoms both in quantities of 1,000.

Intel figures a netbook using a high-end 1.6GHz N270 and fitted with a seven- to 10-inch with 512MB of RAM and 2GB-4GB of flash storage should run about $250.

The company is also pushing a new Series 4 chipset for 45nm Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad CPUs that makes high-def images look more realistic on desktops.

Meanwhile, Qualcomm mumbled something about a $299 widget based on its Snapdragon chipset with an ARM core running Windows Mobile 7 that is more energy efficient than Atom gismos. Figure next year when ARM releases its multi-core Cortex-A9 upgrade.

TI with its ARM bedecked OMAP 3 processor is also looking for a piece of the MID market. The hazard is XP doesn’t run on ARM.
