EWeek: Intel faces 10 major threats in the mobile chip sector

Tang-Renister (Don Reisinger), a leading American it magazine "http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/16543.html" >eweek, said in a recent article that Intel has officially lost its edge in the mobile war. This is mainly manifested in the following 10 aspects:

1, it's all Apple's fault.

If the company has a strong relationship with Apple, the plight of intel in the mobile market is avoidable. Apple can become the dominant mobile product by implanting Intel processors in its hardware devices, but now the arm chip that Apple is using now says nothing.

2. Intel underestimated Arm

This is a big mistake made by Intel. The company believes that arm's business model is focused only on chip design, and Intel is a centralized production design that is simply not enough to pose a threat to itself.

3. Great Energy Saving

Intel should be too early to realise how important energy saving is for mobile phones. Now, while concentrating on energy-efficient products, it seems a bit too late.

4. CEO Short-sighted

Paul Otellini, Intel's CEO, is simply not in a good place to lead the company in a mobile revolution. He was an extraordinary leader in the era of PC-led technology, but today, with smartphones and tablets flooding the market, Autrigny has no advantage. Intel is now paying the price.

5, the business model is very different

Intel's business model is inconsistent with mobile products. The company's history for several years, specializing in the development of new chip construction, and then in the development of its own processor, which is a high price for the seller. In the mobile field, speed and save money are everything. But Intel seems to be noncommittal.

6, wrong

Outside, touch-screen smartphones and tablets are poised for rapid growth, but Intel remains focused on notebooks, thinking that technology can support everything and ultimately win. While Intel is now aware of the importance of the mobile sector, its performance this year will require long-term attention.

7, too focused research super Ben

Intel now has a lot of focus on the super. The reason is that super will be the ultimate replacement for tablets and portable laptops, and that super should be linked to any product plan. Whether super can hit the market is still an unknown.

8. No room for profit

One of the biggest dilemmas in the mobile sector is that the business model has a very tight profit margin. Chip makers in mobile markets need to change their posture and react quickly to save money on the processor. Throughout history, Intel seems to have failed to get tough on this piece.

9, the big company speed is slow

In addition to changing posture and responding to agility, Intel needs to move faster in the mobile arena. Equipment manufacturers are releasing new products every year, mostly to meet the expectations of equipment manufacturers for new features, and Intel, in the product launch has slowed down, is now trying to enter the mobile chip market, the final outcome is still unknown.

10. Samsung is a big worry

In the Mobile world, Samsung may be one of Intel's biggest worries. Samsung sells more smartphones than any other vendor, and even is a leader in the featured mobile phone market. To make the worst of it, Samsung has its own chip production base and does not need to rely on Intel at all. May be digging out a lot of Intel's customers.
