Intel wants to take Apple's chips off of Samsung's hands, make one for the iPad

0. phoneArena posted on 03 Dec 2012, 08:07

A rumor emerged during the weekend that Apple is in advanced negotiations with Intel to task it with making the chips for its iPhones and iPads. Intel undoubtedly has the technology and capacity to do those, and Apple will diversify from TSMC, which was said to replace Samsung for the AX chip production next year, but doesn't have enough yield for now...

Ugh..
Why do you love Intel if I may ask?
For its monopolistic nature?
Anti -competitive attitude?
Power sucking architecture?

If intel was doing all android chips you'd love it os stop hating. I bet u wish u had intels money.

haha exactly, he's classic fanboy

he will as usual get the thumbs up and feel he's right but the reality is there all following android like a cult...exactly how they moan other users were to a certain company

again and i probably will say this alot role reversal

I wish that the iPad had Intel inside so it'd be even faster!!!!

intel is the best company of computer chips with no competition but in smartphone i don't think so

intel shpuldnt take the job as Apple as of late cant be trusted with business ethics. Intel provided everything for Apple including the best sillicopn in the desktops/laptops. If it wasnt for intel the macbook air wouldnt have been possible and what does apple do? Kick them out greedily for its own SoC and I am sure half of that tech is copied from intel!

It is only a matter of time before Intel has a competitive offering to ARM chipsets. They just had to make the organizational decision to play in the space.

Even I agree with you, I also think they are not taking the mobile market seriously enough. The technology is there for the taking: they can already process at 22 nm, with is better than any of the competitors, but they don't use it for mobile.
And the GPUs they have been using are really underperformers... I really hope they decide finally to step up their game, cause many people have been telling the same as you for 3 years now and (till this date) the results have been really dissapointing.

Many people forget, Apple designed their own AX line of processors. The processors they designed are both battery efficient and fast because they cut out all the unneeded bells and whistles instructions and optimize the ones that iphones and ipads actually use. I doubt they would want to go back to gerneral purpose processors any time soon.

I think there ATOM line was leading right up to this.

apple and intel must wait 2013...
and there intel will introduce hasswell,if intel puts ulv hasswell cpu in ipad,it would be awesome and battery life would be good too

8. -box- posted on 03 Dec 2012, 08:31 1

Ipads would use a mobile based chip, not a desktop one. Unless apple gets a grip and makes a macpad or something, I don't see that happening.

5. Bluesky02 posted on 03 Dec 2012, 08:28

Very well Haswell is coming next year

7. -box- posted on 03 Dec 2012, 08:29 1

I find the rumor hard to believe, as it is riding in the wake that apple is trying to cut out Intel AND Samsung and focus on using TSMC or more subservient suppliers for both mobile and desktop products.

10. darac posted on 03 Dec 2012, 08:42

PA, Atom is not having an ARM like battery life, per core.
Just check out the comparison with the Exynos 5 on AnandTech.
The A15 is way ahead in both power and power efficiency

Just make the move Apple and give some back to consumers. Price war will give us all lower price.

13. jove39 posted on 03 Dec 2012, 08:46

I guess...apple is evaluating option of osx on iPad...to compete with surface pro...instead of porting osx to arm v7...they might just use intel's x86 based chip to start with.

24. darkkjedii posted on 03 Dec 2012, 11:52 2

Sounds powerful

15. darkkjedii posted on 03 Dec 2012, 09:19 1

Smart move by apple. If Samsung is no longer the SoC maker, then intel would certainly be able to step rite in.

19. joey_sfb posted on 03 Dec 2012, 10:24 1

Yup! Apple is always the smart one always helping to relieve the apple fans the burden of having too much cash!

21. chaoticrazor posted on 03 Dec 2012, 10:28 2

so samsung they dont want your cash? nokia dont? sony? lg? google? microsoft?

please your point falls flat as all companies caare for one thing -money

22. darkkjedii posted on 03 Dec 2012, 11:08 3

Exactly lol only apple wants to make money. The rest r only n business to give away free phones.

23. darkkjedii posted on 03 Dec 2012, 11:38 2

Ur post made absolutely no sense dude. Tech is a business

26. joey_sfb posted on 03 Dec 2012, 17:38

Of course it does not make sense to you. Having one brand make it impossible to get a good bargain.

The key word here to 'too much!' And apple can charge any price they want and the fans will have to pay. Ok. I know i not getting through, at least i tried.

27. darkkjedii posted on 03 Dec 2012, 17:49

You're not getting thru, cuz every for profit business operates the same way apple does.

17. switza93 posted on 03 Dec 2012, 09:25 1

Still gonna be a crappy phone lololol

25. tech-head posted on 03 Dec 2012, 14:37 1

Intel chips aren't going to help the iPhone...

28. darkkjedii posted on 03 Dec 2012, 17:49

Hating wont help it either, so stop

30. MC1123 posted on 03 Dec 2012, 19:44

would love this!! but apple wants to make their own chips now!! they might ditch intel in the near future!

but the fact is that iOS is not ready for real power!
