New Twist In The Intel-ARM TaleOne Million by One Million Blog - Sramana MitraSep. 03, 2010 |
The Intel–ARM rivalry took a new turn this week with Intel announcing plans to acquire Infineon’s wireless chip business for $1.4 billion. Intel, the world’s largest chipmaker, has been eyeing the smartphone microprocessor market, which is dominated by ARM (NASDAQ:ARMH). ARM, on the other hand, is pushing its low-power processors for netbooks. Let’s take a closer look.
Guest author Nalini Kumar Muppala in his Intel vs. ARM series analyzed ARM’s strengths in the standoff. ARM’s strong point is its low power consumption factor. Intel has been pushing its Moorestown processor for smartphones, which it claims can reach power levels as efficient as ARM processors. But ARM dominates the smartphone market with the likes of Apple, Qualcomm, Samsung, TI, and even Infineon licensing its technology for their mobile devices including smartphones and tablets.
