The funds are designed to boost the Chinese economy and help Intel profit on China’s rapid economic growth. Based on its previous investment record in China, Intel Capital can expect to see as much as a 20 percent annual return within the next five to seven years.
A previous Intel Capital Technology Fund announced in 2005 saw $200m (£101m) invested in Chinese companies. Intel Capital's total holdings in companies across the world were estimated to be worth $2.6bn (£1.3bn) in September 2007.
