Mobile Internet: strangulation of different alliances and combinations

Sun Yongjie on the same day that Microsoft presented Windows 8 at its build 2011 developer conference, Intel, a heavyweight partner in the PC World, teamed up with Google at its equally important Information technology Summit, where the two sides worked together to optimize the use of Intel's low Energy Atom (ling) The future version of the Android system for the processor product family means that future versions of the Android platform will support Intel technology and its architecture.　　As Microsoft's Windows has confirmed its support for ARM architecture, it is a daydream that both Intel and Microsoft are announcing their respective rivals at almost the same time. The industry knows that the wintel of the PC sector in the mobile internet market is a very different situation. In this area they suffer separately from arm and Google Android's sniper. The two-or-arm+android combination dominates most of the market for smartphones and tablets. In fact, Apple's iphone and ipad chip is also based on ARM architecture, so that in the mobile Internet market, the chip is arm's world, and the system by Google Android and Apple iOS swept.　　As Apple has formed its own closed ecosystem, it is hard for other manufacturers to work with it, so Intel chose Google's Android, Microsoft's support arm architecture, with arm and Google Android in the market dominance of the entry and development is also a logical thing. What people see here is a combination of arm+android, arm+windows, Android+x86 and Wintel in the mobile internet market. For now, Arm+android has an absolute lead, and Intel's support for Google's Android future will face this combination. As a result, Google's Android operating system will be optimized for two distinct architectures, not to mention whether Google has the ability to optimize to what extent, especially for the android+x86 combination, through so-called optimization, Before X86 relative to arm architecture power consumption of soft rib can be optimized to solve? If it can be solved, how much can be solved?　　After all, optimization is only a kind of auxiliary technical means, the so-called iron also need their own hard, X86 and arm itself is the key to confrontation. In this sense, Intel's alliance with Google is not a cure for Intel. But it is a good thing for Google, after all, there is a structure to support their own Android, and this partner is their biggest opponent partner, why not. In this way, Intel and Google are holding hands, instead of positioning Intel to compete more directly with arm position, the same system, Intel to create a better experience than arm+android, at least the same experience, otherwise it is difficult to robMarket. Similarly, there will be some misgivings about the combination of arm+windows. Like Intel, Microsoft also wants to enter the mobile Internet market by supporting the largest mobile Internet chip architecture. But did Microsoft's Windows Phone always support arm architecture before? But it turns out that its performance has been sluggish since Android joined in. Although Windows and Windows Phone are different, at least one side reflects the efficiency and experience of how the architecture fits into the system, especially compared to the arm+android combination. While Microsoft wants to take this unified PC, smartphone, tablet, the key is that Arm+windows's portfolio will definitely trump the current Microsoft Arm+windows Phone group. Plus, like Intel, Microsoft Windows supports two different architectures at the same time.　　In short, there are too many uncertainties. Finally, look at the near-collapse of the Wintel. For the time being, Wintel almost nothing in the mobile internet age. But the WINDOWS8-based Samsung tablet computer that Microsoft presented to developers at the build 2011 Developer conference is still using Intel's i5 chip. As a result, we see that the Wintel configuration is much higher than the current tablet computer. It also seems to show the industry the signs that Wintel may reappear in the mobile internet market. So in the future, will Intel and Microsoft continue to participate in the Wintel Alliance as a way to strangle the mobile Internet as Intel chips technology, such as the adoption of 22 nanotechnology?　　After all, Wintel's portfolio is proven to be the most efficient and competitive combination of the PC market. To sum up, the current mobile internet is in the melee, which combination can ultimately win, it is still too early, after all, the mobile internet controversy has just begun. Share to:
