January 13 noon news, ARM CEO Warren Eastbourne (Warren East) on Wednesday at the International Consumer Electronics Show (hereinafter referred to as “CES”) on the interview, the Intel (microblogging) with low-power processor to expand the field of smart phones and tablet PCs did not mind the plan.
Eastbourne, said: “Intel is bound to win some of the smart phone design, we will as a major competitor of Intel, but they can win in energy consumption? No, certainly not, but they can also offer many features.”
Eastbourne that Intel’s recent plan well, but still not enough to pose a challenge to the ARM. Intel announced earlier this week, and tablet PCs into the smart phone chips, and with Motorola (microblogging) movement and association to establish a partnership, the two companies will use the Android mobile phone Medfield processor.
There are around 275 chip manufacturers and hardware and software companies to obtain a license ARM’s, so the vast majority control of the mobile market share. However, he said, ARM is not standing still, the company’s new Cortex A7 chip architecture and smart phones a few years ago the same chip performance, but energy consumption is reduced by 20%.
He said: “People want to do more with mobile phones, but cell size can not change it like in the case of the same size tank than to open 100 miles (161 km), it is necessary to improve engine efficiency. We are engaged in this work. ”
Eastbourne also said he was pleased with Microsoft’s (microblogging) is a new generation of Windows 8 operating system can use the ARM chip architecture compatible with Tablet PC, which marks Intel’s most important ally of the strategic transformation. But he said Microsoft’s implementation of effective measures to ensure he has enough patience to wait. He said: “We have been waiting a long time, another six months or a year does not matter, whether to wait long, as long as the quality of clearance is like.”
Microsoft announced at CES last year, Windows 8 will be compatible with the ARM architecture, but has not yet revealed the release of the new system time. Industry observers expect the second half of this year there will be a large number of ARM processor of Windows 8 Tablet PC market.
Eastbourne believes that although in recent years behind Apple and Google, but Microsoft could have an impact on the mobile market. “Google Android will be all the rage, we certainly hope to benefit.” He said, “but Microsoft does have room for development, we hope to benefit.”
