ARM, Intel Battle Heats Up

Posted by timothy on from the all-about-comparative-advantage dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Low-power processor maker ARM Holdings is stepping up rhetoric against chip rival Intel, saying it expects to take more of Intel's market share than Intel can take from them. With Intel being the No. 1 supplier of notebook PC processors, and ARM technology almost ubiquitously powering smartphones, the two companies are facing off as they both push into the other's market space. 'It's going to be quite hard for Intel to be much more than just one of several players,' ARMs CEO said of Intel."

    Low-power processor maker ARM Holdings

    ARM Holdings do not "make" processors, low powered or otherwise. They design, they develop, and they certainly license. But they don't make.

    Interestingly from a Slashdot point of view they're probably the most high profile example of an "IP" company with a positive image.

    Good smartphone CPUs have on the order of 20mW standby power draw. Factor of 500.
