(Reuters) -Intel Corp plans to expand the Intel Developer Cloud to allow customers to try a range of new chips before they hit the market, a move it hopes will lure more application developers to use its processors, the company said on Tuesday.

Chip companies are increasingly enabling software and hardware developers to test out chips virtually in the cloud before they are shipped to save time.
