Paul Otellini is now retired. Instead, were assigned two people: the director 52-year-old Brian Krzhanich , and president of the company - 48-year-old Renee James .
In an interview with journalist Otellini admitted that some time after the transfer of Apple computers to Intel platform, the company has asked the partner to create a processor for a smartphone. Basically, it was not necessarily a concept, and later implemented in the processor Atom. At one time, we recall, Intel XScale processors released for the PDA architecture ARM. The problem was that Apple set a price level for the CPU, which could not be offset by the production of Intel processors in the volumes that were expected at that time. Therefore, Otellini said no, and now he regrets.
Who knew that the production of processors for iPhone and, more importantly, the iPad will grow by two orders of magnitude? Such supplies would be fully compensated for the cost of development and production. This is the only time in his career, admitted the former director Intel, which he regrets. After all, the world of Intel processors inside iPhone and iPad would have been different. Anyway, now we know where all these rumors about the iPhone and iPad on Intel processors. Related Products :
