Wireless business is not Intel simple metempsychosis

Author: Ma Wenfang



On August 31, intel announces the cash with 1.4 billion dollar buys Europe the wireless solution ministry of Ying Feiling of manufacturer of conductor of the 2nd most, in taking Ying Feiling's base band and radio frequenc most popular selling ata pci y business the bosom thereby.



hans wilhelmThis is Intel buys base band business the 2nd times. Of first time buy happened in October 1999, intel bought firm of digital signal processor with the cash of about 1.6 billion dollar -- DSP communicat most popular selling usb harddrive enclosure ion company, intel marchs the ambition of communication domain also is ata pci card exposed und mot the most popular moto gp xbox ogp xbox 2013 oubted. Do not have a smartphone when vogue, the DSP of base band chip that regards a mobile phone as core is very eye-catching still.



Arrived December 2002, intel is in Intel technology peak is being hit on the meeting " patulous rub Er is mensurable " banner, ground of do sth on a large scale announces to march mobile market, the hope duplicates the success of PC market mobile market. However, intel is inferior to in the progress of mobile market meaning, so that arrived,must bear painful fractionation motog moto gp xbox best buy p xbox game play 2006 communication business.



Did not cross Intel two years to cannot help wanting to enter communication market again. On the IDF that held in Shanghai in April 2008, intel rolled out mobile I the most popular usb harddrive enclosure nternet equipment (MID) .



But this is not simple metempsychosis any more. Remember the author asking the Intel at that time Kissinger of senior vice president, whether does MID mean Intel to enter mobile phone market again, he replies at once: "Yes. " but he says again immediately is not: "Because the mobile phone is one of MID only. "Because the mobile phone is one of MID only..



Besides the change of market strategy, on technical framework, the approach of X86 framework moved processor to replace ARM framework, make thereby Intel mixes PC embedded the system is centralized go up in X86 framework.



And on mobile phone market, IT manufacturer has become protagonist, manufacturer of traditional mobile phone still not reconciled to. What the market situation of the mobile phone is born as PC is overnight, be full of the personal computer of various framework. Intel hopes to reproduce the old dream of the market of PC unify PC that is based on X86 platform in mobile phone market of course.



Still having a significant change is by rub Er law brings. Rub Er law often is by inference chip rate is rapidder and rapidder, little imagine rub Er law is originally those who say chip to go up is compositive spend every 18 months to increase one times. When compositive degree enough tall when, can more and more circuit functions compositive go up in a chip, i.e. piece go up system (SoC) .

SoC is the development trend of integrated circuit, this kind of phenomenon is in embedded the domain is sent more remarkable. Apparent, intel future wants to put mobile phone circuit in a chip, buying base band and radio frequency business is sooner or later thing. And after buying McAfee, the safe algorithm with sure will corresponding meeting regards Intel as engine in placing approach to use processor. Such, intel will be built in the platform future of mobile phone domain in embed the odd chip solution that has safe engine to go up.



Together with, the last ten-day of a month will put Intel CTO Gu Siting in August word, the power comsumption that prospective approach uses processor will under nowadays the ARM processor of market of processor of forestall mobile phone, this eliminated the soft costal region with final on wireless business Intel.



Probably 35 years, not only market of mobile phone chip has pattern to will be broken, and mobile phone market also will produce tremendous change, the complexity of the mobile phone circuit that depends on because of manufacturer of traditional mobile phone and close the gender had alled gone.
