Intel has injected Aurora feint to promote meego together

Intel announced on Thursday that it will join a new round of financing initiated by Aurora feint, a mobile gaming company in the United States. Intel's venture capital division has previously been focusing on the company's strategic interests, while injecting money to mobile gaming companies unrelated to the chip manufacturing industry shows that intel has made a profit as the main purpose of its investment.

Aurora feint launched open feint social games last year, attracting a large number of game developers with independent iPhone and Android operating systems. Microsoft's Xbox Live has created a precedent for social games. Gamers can use this platform to communicate with each other, helping to further develop the gaming user base.

Mobile games are a hot industry. Japanese mobile gaming operator Dena said earlier this month that the company will use $0.403 billion to acquire ngmoco, an American game software developer developing games for Apple's iPhone and iPad, and claimed that the acquisition would create the world's largest mobile social game platform company.

But unfortunately, despite the huge development space of the mobile gaming industry. However, Intel is almost unable to touch the finger, even the chips used by smartphones. For a long time, arm has been a leader in this field.

However, Intel is making every effort to change this situation. The company has developed its low-end atom chip to reduce the power consumption of smartphones and meet a key demand in the mobile market. Intel made a series of software investments, spent $0.884 billion last year to acquire Wind River Systems, an embedded software and service provider, and established partnerships with Nokia, help promote the x86 chip-based smartphone operating system meego.

Open feint's new round of financing will raise $8 million, of which Intel will invest $3 million. The company hopes to inject money to mobile gaming companies to help implement its meego strategy to drive the operating system to exert greater influence on smart mobile terminals.

On the other hand, open feint takes a wait and wait-and-see attitude toward whether it supports Microsoft's latest operating system and Windows smartphones. The company can share a similar stance with meego and atom. Peter relan, Chairman of open feint, said the technology that supports intel is not a condition for investment transactions, but added that open feint will have a "strategic business conversation" with intel ".

Relan predicts that Intel will soon exert its influence in the tablet market. Compared with smartphones, Atom's shortcomings in power consumption are not so prominent in the tablet market, A large number of flat machines will use intel's atom chip.

Lisa Lambert, vice president of Intel venture capital and General Manager of the Service Group, said that tablet computers using Intel processors will soon enter the market and that intel and open feint will achieve a win-win development. (Elite)
