Intel recently an article, "billions of dollars wisely? Or will exit the smartphone and tablet markets" by the mainstream websites. The article source for reprint, foreign media reported but for now, its contents and the fact there is a certain deviation between authenticity also greatly discount.
This paper, according to a spokesman for Intel, Intel will cancel for mobile devices, code-named Sofia Broxton and the development of the atom. As part of a major restructuring plan, Intel announced this month that it will cut 12000 jobs. The two chips will be Intel give up the first batch of products. Originally used to develop Broxton and Sofia chip resources will be turned to "can bring higher returns, to promote the products of our strategy".
A stone up, Intel over the past few years at a cost of billions of dollars to promote smartphones and tablet computer chips, through subsidies way gets a reasonable market share in the tablet market, but also established a large number of partners. Intel and the exit the market for smartphones and tablets will directly affect the fate of the partners.
The news comes as the May Day holiday period, Intel officials didn't respond. As last year, however, with Intel's common for mobile phones and tablet can calls, SoFIA - 3 gr of core microelectronics chip first response: "this is rumor!"
According to core micro, vice President of ucg in WeChat friends forwarding writes the article link and Sofia 3 gr not be affected, but also for other products, more importance. "Its partnership with Chinese chipmaker Rockchip, through which Rockchip has had developing SoFIA SoCs, remains in place."
At the same time, red core micro official weibo also posted a statement: "the truth in this, don't believe the rumor] dear friends: red core Sofia 3 gr chip micro and Intel cooperation, not be affected, but also for other products, more importance. Please don't affected by the rumors! A new situation we create 3 gr together!
Response from the official weibo content and forward, included the English link, its textual carelessness, Intel do adjust the smartphone and tablet chip product line, but with Chinese manufacturers core micro SoFIA chip cooperation will continue.
Judging from the results, and perhaps to core is a good news, the future in the field of flat chip, as Intel's other product lines to cancel, Intel core with micro will further strengthen cooperation, more customers may choose to cooperate with red core micro, this also gives red core micro a larger opportunity.
According to set piconets, last year began to pick up the core of the micro SoFIA - 3 gr chip tablet has a large number of shipments, in recognition of the southeast Asian market is also very high, and the local big customers such as Germany, the United States this year began to shipment.
