Intel to
catch up mobile chip competitors makers with new 22 nm SoCs for smartphones and
tablets.
Despite Intel has not been so succesful in the mobile chips arena, like Qualcomm,NVidia and Samsung, at an industry conference in San Francisco on
Monday, Intel reported on the progress of its technology for making
SoCs, or "systems-on-a-chip" with features measuring 22 nanometers.
"Intel's 22 nm SoC technology will be ready for high volume manufacturing in 2013," Intel said in a copy of the presentation.
Intel's
current mobile SoCs are manufactured at 32 nm, while Qualcomm makes its
top-end SoCs at 28 nm and Nvidia uses 40 nm technology. Manufacturing
chips with smaller features allows for better performance and power
efficiency.
Intel already makes PC
processors at 22 nm, but since SoCs pack more features onto one piece of
silicon, manufacturing them at 22 nm is more complicated, said Patrick
Moorhead, of Moor Insights & Analysis.
"They
(Intel) have all the right ingredients to make a very competitive
mobile chip but we won't know if they do until 2013," Moorhead said.
