In the past, Intel focused on the x86 core architecture market, with the ARM core architecture focused on the mobile market, almost no intersection with each other.Although, in the past Intel also tried to enter the x86 core architecture into the field of smart phones.And the ARM Core architecture-led Qualcomm also announced a move to the x86-based notebook market in the past with a combination of Microsoft Windows 10 operating procedures in 2017. But so far one failed to exit and the other has not yet released a finished product yet. With Intel becoming more and more active in the semiconductor foundry market, it seems viable to work with rival competitors, shake hands in some areas and work together to expand the market.
For example, the Cortex-A55 core architecture announced by ARM in mid-2017 has been produced using Intel's 22-nanometer FFL process foundries and has experimented with smartphones Achieving 0.45V at 2.35GHz, and the ARM-based SoC, which is based on the Intel 10nm HPM / GP process technology, is also coming out with a message that will be streamed before the end of 2017. As for the newer generation Series of core architecture, is expected to achieve 3.5GHz clock speed, 0.5V voltage, which is the maximum single-core power consumption of less than 0.9 watts of performance, while such performance will be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chip single core less than half Power consumption.
Intel's 14-nanometer process is currently being used on Spreadtrum's x86 chipsets, but because of its x86 architecture, Spreadtrum further limits Spreadtrum's growth in the consumer market and affects Intel's foundry efforts in the semiconductor foundry Market performance.Therefore, in order to further increase revenue, Intel at the ARM TechCon conference stressed that the semiconductor foundry part of the core architecture of the product will be open for OEM.
According to data released by Intel recently, the same is 10-nanometer process, Intel has the process technology, to place 100 million transistors per square millimeter, TSMC only 48 million transistors, and Samsung, but only 61.6 million Transistors, so Intel, Intel's process technology leader Intel, is ahead of its competitors by more than three years, but only Intel is interested in OEMing ARM chips with 10-nanometer process technology so far The only news outflow is just LG.
