Intel在移动方面拿不出东西来,就没有底。
Otellini退位是个很坏的信号,好像是丧失信心走人完事的象征。 ...
Don't underestimate Intel's ability to improve their chip designs. They have a great track record. Every year, they are able to come out with new CPU that's faster and more power efficient, and AMD is throwing the towel in x86 market.
Intel is already at 22nm with their high end x86 chips with Ivy Bridge.
It is extremely unlikely Macbook Air will switch to ARM chips.
I am not sure about iPad with x86...
Ivy Bridge on Windows Tablet will be a real laptop replacement...The current Surface with ARM and Atom sucks...
The news/rumor from CNET
CNET reports that Intel is hard at work on reducing the power consumption of its Ivy Bridge chips, opening the door to use of the chips in mainstream tablets and reducing battery needs on small notebooks such as the MacBook Air.
Quote:
Intel will cut power consumption "significantly" for future versions of the chip, an industry source familiar with the chipmaker's plans told CNET.
Intel's most power efficient Ivy Bridge chips today -- used widely in Windows ultrabooks and Apple's MacBook Air -- are rated at 17 watts.
A future version of Ivy Bridge would be rated well below this, the source said.
Intel has already previewed its next-generation Haswell chips that will push power consumption to as low as 10 watts initially, but it seems that Intel is moving to reduce power needs for its chips even before Haswell hits the market.
With future Ivy Bridge and Haswell chips becoming feasible for tablets with their reduced power consumption, there have been rumors that Apple could consider Intel chips for at least the iPad, although Apple seems dedicated to its own ARM-based chip designs for its mobile devices. But with Apple said to be looking to shift away from Samsung for production of its A-series chips, the company is said to be looking at TSMC and Intel as future chip foundry options.
In a research note issued last week, RBC analyst Doug Freedman claimed that Apple is already in talks with Intel on a deal that could see Intel producing A-series chips for the iPhone while Apple shifts to Intel's x86 platform for the iPad. |
