Planning Exposure: Intel Mobile Processor 10nm Research

It is understood that the current design of mobile chips using 28/32 nanometer technology, already can transmit a very powerful power and performance ratio, but another mold will be adopted in the next year more stringent shrinking process. Samsung is preparing to prepare 20-nanometer or even 14-nanometer chips in the newly-built US$2 billion foundry. Qualcomm and Nvidia are also discussing with TSMC on the production of its next-generation silicon wafers.

On the other hand, Intel, as the world’s most advanced manufacturer, has reached a 22-nanometer process technology, but this technology is only targeted at its desktop and notebook computers, such as the new Ivy Bridge CPU. The chip uses innovative 3D transistor technology so that transistors can be stacked, saving space and increasing performance.

Yesterday, at an industry conference, Intel announced that it plans to bring 22nm technology into its upcoming smartphone and tablet chips. For example, the Motorola RAZR i is ready to use the technology chip. Now it is looking for a suitable ARM-based processor based on its performance/power consumption ratio. However, it uses a 32-nanometer chip. The mold shrinkage plan will bring a chip to Intel. A very strong competitive advantage, at least in the CPU area.

Intel's Mark Bohr proposed that this technology far exceeds the 28-nm process that can be accomplished by foundries such as TSMC, and the upcoming 20-nanometer process in performance and leakage performance. He also said: "We have played a good guiding role for our competitors, and we know that we can achieve 14 nanometers."

We doubt whether Intel will be ready to implant these concentrated 22-nanometer technology in mobile phones and tablets by the end of next summer, and companies that are licensed to make ARM are unlikely to remain stagnant during this period, but it may be that they In the real sense, for the first time, we must compete with Intel Corporation in the mobile field. Of course, the so-called "pros and cons of competition" will benefit everyone regardless of who wins or loses. So, we have heard many rumors that Apple and Intel are cooperating on the chip. This is not groundless.
