Intel opens up Foundry — and shifts toward iOS and Linux-based OSes
Not only is Intel using other unnamed foundries for its Sofia SoC, it plans to expand its small contract foundry business to third party customers, according to several reports, including Reuters. In fact, Intel already surprised the industry recently when it came to light that Altera’s new quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 based Stratix 10 SX SoC will be built by Intel. The FPGA-enabled Stratix SoC will be the first processor to be manufactured with Intel’s 14nm 3D Tri-Gate process, beating out the upcoming Cherry Trail/Airmont SoC by months.
Intel is hoping to more aggressively compete with the production of ARM chips that currently use Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), says the story. Reuters also speculates that Intel may be aiming to steal Apple’s manufacturing business away from another major foundry competitor, Samsung.
Intel is also hoping to convince Apple to try out its upcoming Atoms for future iOS devices, according to a report in The Register. The Register story, titled “Wintel must welcome Antel and Chrotel into cosy menage,” quotes Intel’s PC chief Kirk Skaugen as saying Intel is rapidly expanding away from Microsoft’s Windows on the client end, and directing its efforts toward supporting iOS and Linux-based operating systems like Android, Chrome OS, and others. Skaugen said he expected a considerable business to arise from Chrome OS, and he also singled out “Ubuntu for praise as well.”
-Intel on tajunnut, että pc kuolee, eikä windows enää myy. Intel onkin vaihtamassa pois Microsoftin liittonsa ja alkaa tukea Applea ja Linuxia. Intel näkee tulevaisuuden käyttöjärjestelminä ChromeOS:n, Ubuntun, Androidin ja IOS:n, mutta windowsilla Intel ei näe mitään tulevaisuutta enää. Intel on liikkumassa pois vanhasta wintel-liitosta.
Kokonaisuutena Intel on haistanut windowsin kuoleman:
At its investor meeting yesterday, Intel exhibited its readiness to face the new realities of the “post-PC era.” Led by CEO Brian Krzanich, top executives outlined strategic efforts to speed its mobile Atom system-on-chips toward 14 and 10nm geometries, 64-bits, and integrated basebands, and to look beyond Windows on the client end, with increased focus on iOS and Linux-based OSes like Android and Chrome OS.
