Samsung reversed Qualcomm, Intel PC chip advantage will be lost?
时间：2018-12-18
In the era of mobile chips, Intel lost to Qualcomm, but it is still the hegemon in the field of computer processors. However, there have been many unfavorable news in the field of Intel computer processors recently. According to the latest news from foreign media, Samsung and other computer manufacturers began to abandon Intel and use Qualcomm's processor, which cast a shadow over Intel's prospects.
The global PC market has shrunk for many years and has become the sunset market. However, in the field of computer CPUs, Intel's market share is over 90%, which is undoubtedly the overlord.
However, Intel's recent computer chip capacity crisis has led to many new products using competitor AMD's processors. Some industry analysts even predict that AMD's market share may triple, reaching 30%.
According to foreign technology media PCMAG, Intel is also facing another crisis, that is, Qualcomm is eroding its customers and share.
Last year, Samsung Electronics introduced a hybrid notebook, the Galaxy Book, which includes 10.6-inch and 12-inch screen versions. It uses Intel processors and Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system.
Recently, Samsung upgraded this laptop and launched the Galaxy Book 2 product. The media found that the processor of the notebook changed from Intel to Qualcomm's Opteron 850.
From the perspective of architecture, Samsung Electronics also gave up the traditional Intel x86 and turned to the ARM ARM processor architecture.
The biggest advantage of the ARM processor is its low power consumption. It is said that Samsung's notebook has a battery life of up to 20 hours. Samsung's notebook is priced at $1,000 and will be available for sale from early November.
In the global computer market, notebook manufacturers using Qualcomm CPUs are not only Samsung Electronics. Previously, Lenovo Group, Hewlett-Packard, and Asustek also launched notebooks equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. In addition, Qualcomm also cooperated with Microsoft on Windows 10 operating system. Modifications have been made and are already compatible with ARM architecture processors.
High-end application processors are mainly designed for mobile devices such as smartphones, but can also be ported to the personal computer field. Recently, according to foreign media reports, Qualcomm is working with Microsoft to develop a new processor designed for notebook computers - Qualcomm 8180.
The computer CPU will be released at the end of the year, and the computer products equipped with this processor will be available early next year, and Asus may become the first to eat crabs.
It is not difficult to see that in addition to AMD, Intel has to deal with the challenge of Qualcomm's old rival.
In the field of mobile processors, Intel has experienced major failures and has basically withdrawn. Intel has optimized the past Atom processor and hopes to play a role in the field of smartphones and tablets, but the market competitiveness is difficult to compare with Qualcomm and MediaTek's ARM processors.
Previously, Intel has indicated that it will not develop subsequent mobile phone processors.
However, relying on the support of Apple, Intel has been able to maintain the baseband processor used in smartphone communications, especially this year, due to patent litigations between Apple and Qualcomm, Apple adopted Intel's baseband processor in all new handsets. .
However, according to foreign media reports, Apple has set up a baseband processor R & D team, is developing its own chips, once the wings are full, Intel may be abandoned by Apple like other chip suppliers.
It is also worth mentioning that in addition to personal computers, Qualcomm has also sought the market for Snapdragon processors in the server field. Recently, according to several media reports, in the reorganization plan implemented by Qualcomm, the server processor plan has been contracted or canceled. Qualcomm may realize that in pursuit of server-level powerful processing performance, it may not be able to cooperate with Intel, AMD and other vendors. competition.
