Intel Corporation (INTC): Here’s What to Expect From The Company in Mobile

Integration and beyond
Qualcomm’s success in mobile computing can be largely attributed to the innovation it brought by integrating more components onto a single piece of silicon. Intel has taken a page out of Qualcomm’s playbook and investors can expect to see deeper levels of integration between mobile and CPU components in the coming years. Considering that Intel owns the computing market in terms of mindshare, as Intel better integrates its components, it could potentially threaten Qualcomm’s stronghold in the market.

During Intel’s most recent conference call, CEO Paul Otellini claimed that the company’s 32-nanometer Medfield chipset is very competitive compared to the best ARM designs in terms of performance and battery life. The majority of the technology world believes this to be a farce, but perhaps that will change once Chipzilla brings the world’s first 22-nanometer smartphone and tablet designs to market.
