Why isn't Intel making cell phone chips?

As of now, AMD is not able to do it, Intel is not not the courage to do it.

Talk about Intel, Intel in the mobile phone chip toss has four stages:

< br >

Early days: Dismissive

< br >

Intel has not done Mobile phone CPU, but in the early years Intel has done ARM processor (XScale series) for the veteran smart phone Windows Mobile XX used oh, but because this thing thankless sold. At that time, Intel really disdained the mobile phone market, did not see the huge business opportunities of the mobile phone, and even Jobs came to the door to discuss the rare opportunity to make chips for the iPhone.

Middle stage: Late repair

After the iPhone exploded the smartphone craze, everyone realized the value of mobile. Intel has finally realized that the mobile market is also a big fat meat, so it began its own road to repair.

< br >

On the one hand, Intel launched the lightweight x86-designed Atom series of processors to compete with ARM, and on the other hand, Intel acquired Infineon to fill its own shortcomings in baseband. In fact, it can be said that Intel's initial move is not wrong, and it can even be said that this beginning is very good. The early Atom processor, with Intel's design and engineering advantages, did not perform badly on mobile. The most typical comparison is between Atom and Tegra products, Atom is not more power consumption than Tegra, and the performance is better. At the same time, Intel acquired Infineon is the iPhone baseband provider, holding a stable customer, a good mirror image of the river.

Atom and baseband are getting worse and worse. But because it is not very profitable, even if the performance is good, but not Intel's attention, research and development progress is extremely slow, step by step away from the mobile market. The pace of Atom line updates was slow, Infineon's integration progress and updates were slow, software adaptation could not keep up, Atom baseband plans were slow to fail (SoFIA), and finally the 4G era became the last straw to break Intel's mobile market. The iPhone changed Qualcomm baseband, Atom was thrown off by ARM, without any redeirability, and since Atom hours, Intel baseband is also half dead.

< br >

Now: Let it go

In fact, Intel's failure in the mobile market is not only Intel's own neglect, but also Intel's own tonality is inappropriate. Intel is used to high-profit markets, accustomed to carrying their own shelves, accustomed to the pursuit of profit margins, really can not do this dozens of chips a chip business (although the price is now rising). So Intel then gave up and let itself go.

Do not know if Intel really enter the mobile market will be what, but did not enter the mobile market Intel is still very moist, in the server market to earn a pot full, fill their own factory full, all roads


In order to monopolize technology, Intel outsourced the entire process of chip manufacturing. However, the architecture of the mobile SOC is to sell the CPU as a separate IP core, which is equivalent to selling its own technology as a package, Intel does not do, worried about technology outflow.

With the dissolution of China Cool Union, the performance of the Intel processor market has been seen by everyone, with the name of Intel is far from enough, it is not good to use the cool also have to cool!
