Intel Is Going To Enter The Smart Phone Market

Intel is going to enter the smart phone market with its improved chip, but it still need to face some problems. For example, how to attract the customers by an innovative cell phone? Whether the new products can help Intel to become one of the world’s largest suppliers? These questions can not be answered at the present time, because Intel has not disclosed the details of this chip. The shipment of smart phone chip reached 101 million in the fourth quarter of last year, which has exceeded the personal computer chip at the first time. Intel keeps silence towards this situation, because it does not want to release a chip without cell phone. The Moorestown, which is designed for the smart phone, has never entered the top manufacturers of cell phone, although Intel has introduced the smart phone with Moorestown chip early in the year of 2009.

The LG smart phone, which was introduced by Intel two years ago, has not been released now. Recently, the alliance between Nokia and Microsoft indicates that Intel is no longer the first choice of Microwave’s partners. Intel has found its faults, so it will release the chip together with the cell phone manufacturers. They try to give people a new image of smart phone. Few words are used to describe the new chip: Medfield is a smart phone chip, applying the 32 nano fabrication. It has high performance and low power consumption. Although Intel has not been successful on the development of low power consumption, it is the world’s top chip manufacturer, which is able to develop the chip with low power consumption and powerful processor.

Another question is whether Intel is able to produce the dual core processor which has become the fashion of high-end smart phone. The high-end smart phone of MOTOROLA applies the dual core processor, and the iphone released by Apple will also use it. The Medfield attaches much importance on the low power consumption, so the first version of Medfield may have the single processor. The distance between Intel and the mature chip manufacturers is large. Infineon will help Intel to compete with other companies, but its power is limited. Whether the smart field will open for Intel can be known after the Medfield cell phone is released. The related integrated circuit is HMBT1815.
