December 15, according to foreign media reports, the U.S. investment bank Piper Jaffray senior research analyst Gus Richard (Gus Richard) study published this week that Apple’s processor chip in the mobile field ahead of the competition Intel. This report points out that the new tablet PCs and smart phones, chip competition is not emphasized Moore’s Law, but the circuit components fit together and how the software running on these circuits together.

Specifically, tablet PCs and smart phones using the system chips. SoC does not always use the latest and greatest chip processing technology, but it gets the job done.

Richard said in the report, the focus is not Moore’s Law: Technology has changed the business factors. In the SoC era, system performance and development costs are not determined by the cost of each gate, but depending on the design and software. For example, Apple’s A5 processor does not have any leading-edge technology. However, the performance of the user that the iPad is better than PC. This is because the iPad have a longer life, always on and fast Internet connection. A5 processor is not fast Intel processors, but more intellectual property component, and as low-power general-purpose processor faster than the Star of different functions.

Software also plays an important role. Apple software is written as a set of hardware resources, hardware resources and needs in countless combinations to run on Windows than develop more smoothly.

Richard calmly pointed out in the report, Intel is leading the production. However, Intel has not been designed to showcase its range beyond the IC Components PC. We believe that the general-purpose processors can not be like the A5 as a dedicated private IP component SoC competition. He believes that Intel’s manufacturing process is not optimized for the system-chip integration.

Perhaps the important thing is to Intel chips, but Apple does not produce chips. Intel said in a statement, as we enter the field of low-power SoC, production and processing technology is more important than ever. We see the process and design the importance of tightly integrated, in order to maximize the benefits of the system chip design. This is taking steps to speed up the Atom processor from 32 nm to 14 nm because the transition. After 2012 we will introduce this technology to new markets.
