Apple at the end of the year will become Intel's largest mobile processor manufacturer

Apple at the end of the year will become Intel's largest mobile processor manufacturer According to foreign media reports, market research firm In-Stat predicted in a report to be released later this week that by the end of the year, Apple will exceed Intel as the world's largest mobile processor manufacturer.

In-Stat said that thanks to the rapid growth in sales of iOS devices and the slowdown in PC sales, Apple became the world’s second-largest mobile processor maker after Intel last year. If this trend does not change, iOS device sales continue to grow rapidly, Apple will exceed Intel by the end of this year to become the world's largest mobile processor vendor.

The gap between Apple and Intel is not big. Last year, Apple released 176 million mobile processors with a market share of 13.5%; Intel mobile processors sold 181 million with a market share of 13.9%. Jim McGregor, chief technology strategy officer and report author at In-Stat, said, "The continued success of the iPhone and iPad, and the smartphone and tablet PC market is growing faster than the PC" will help Apple overtake Intel. .

Apple's processor chip is based on the ARM architecture. Intel's mobile processor is used in some models of tablet computers, but has not yet entered the smartphone market. Intel hopes to challenge ARM's dominance with a low-energy Atom chip code-named Medfield. Lenovo, Motorola Mobility and ZTE will launch smart phones and tablets with Medfield chips later this year.

In-Stat's report includes mobile processors for products such as portable media players such as the Apple iPod Touch, game consoles, and e-readers.

McGregor points out that with the growth of mobile device sales, Apple, as a processor manufacturer, will have a greater and greater impact on Intel and other companies. Sales of smartphones and tablets have surpassed the sum of servers and PCs, and the gap between the two will increase further in the coming years.

Earlier this week, Apple chief executive Tim Cook quoted market research firm Gartner's forecast data saying that the tablet PC market is larger than smartphones is only a matter of time. Gartner predicts that tablet PC sales will reach 325 million units in 2015.

McGregor said that the A4, A5, and A5X mobile processors helped Apple attract a large number of users, but if Apple began to use its own designed processors in MacBook Air notebooks and other products, Intel would be more worried. Currently, Mac computers use Intel processors, and the relationship between Apple and Intel is rather subtle. The two companies are both partners and competitors. McGregor said that Apple's use of its own processor in the Mac will affect Intel's chip sales. There are rumors that Apple will choose to use its own processor in the MacBook Air, but some analysts pointed out that given the technical and performance issues of ARM architecture chips, this possibility is relatively small in the near future.

Intel took a positive response and invested millions of dollars in the development of ultrabooks. Ultrabook runs Windows. PC makers see Ultrabook as a MacBook Air competitor. McGregor said that "Intel is investing heavily in the development of Ultrabooks not only to compete with tablet computers, but also to compete with Apple's MacBook Air."

Apple also promoted the development of the ARM camp. The ARM camp is considering challenging Intel in the PC field. Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 will support both the X86 and ARM architectures, and companies such as Qualcomm plan to launch PCs with ARM processors. McGregor said, "The more successful Apple is, the more credit it brings to the ARM camp and the more competitive the ARM camp as a whole."

In-Stat's report shows that X86 and ARM's forces in the mobile processor market are shifting. In addition to Intel and Apple, last year, according to sales volume of mobile processor manufacturers followed by Texas Instruments, Qualcomm and Samsung, AMD ranked sixth.

McGregor said that whether the ARM processor's performance is comparable to that of Intel Core is still a problem. The performance of Windows 8 on a tablet PC is better than that of a PC, but in the future, ultrabooks with Intel chips can be turned into tablets. The ARM version of Windows 8 is also facing driver and application compatibility issues. He also pointed out that as long as sales of the iPad and iPhone are increasing, the impact of Apple as a mobile processor manufacturer will not disappear. "Determining the fate of the company and technology is the consumption. By".

Polycrystalline Solar Panels is composed of polycrystalline silicon solar cells, EVA film low toughened glass, light electroplating rate gold. Polycrystalline silicon is an aggregate containing a large number of single crystal particles. Typically, Polycrystalline solar panels have an efficiency of about 18 percent. Output power of polycrystalline solar panels is strictly controlled at + / - 3% to ensure positive tolerances for each container. Its components are tested by internationally renowned laboratories to ensure the accuracy of output common rate. In the process of component production, advanced technology without screw built-in corner key connection is applied to tighten seal, with high mechanical strength and high transmittance, toughened glass package and sealed waterproof junction box are adopted to ensure the safety of components. The output power of these pv modules is guaranteed to be over 90% during the 10 years of use. During 25 years of use, the output power is above 80%. The packaging form and accessories such as junction boxes selected by polycrystalline solar panels meet the requirements of field use and the protection level reaches IP65. The module can resist wind speed of 120Km/h, and its strength can resist general wind sand, hail and snow pressure.
