    Intel might lose Apple contract



    Fanboy thinks x86 is doomed

    Intel is about to lose its lucrative contract to supply Apple gear as Jobs’ Mob thinks its own ARM based chips can do better

    Daring Fireball’s resident Apple Fanboy John Gruber has been getting all moist about the Apple’s expensive Surface Pro knock-off and thinks it signals a huge change for Apple away from x86.
    “The new MacBook is slower, gets worse battery life, and even its cheapest configuration costs $200 more than the top-of-the-line iPad Pro. The iPad Pro is more powerful, cheaper, has a better display, and gets better battery life.”
    He admits that it is not a clear cut-and-dry win. MacBooks still have more RAM, are expandable, and offer far more storage.
    “But at a fundamental level CPU speed, GPU speed, quality of the display, quality of the sound output, and overall responsiveness of interface — the iPad Pro is a better computer than a MacBook or MacBook Air, and a worthy rival to the far more expensive MacBook Pros.”
    Gruber believes that the future lies with the ARM-based processors used in the iPad and most smartphones, rather than the x86 architecture used by Macs and Windows PCs.
    He claimed that the entire x86 computer architecture is living on borrowed time.
    “It's a dead platform walking. The future belongs to ARM, and Apple's A-series SoC's are leading the way,” Gruber said.
    Of course his problem is that he is only seeing things from an Apple point-of-view, blinkers are standard issue for any member of the Tame Apple Press. But what he appears to be suggesting is a variation on the theme that the world has gone mobile so therefore everyone should be using ARM-based mobile chips.
    Logically he has a point. After all if Apple can charge an ARM and a leg for a souped up tablet that does more or less the same thing as a MacBook aren’t the days of Intel over?
    We don’t think Chipzilla will be losing much sleep. Its latest Mobile M range can do more than anything ARM can come up with on mobile notebooks. What appears to be the saviour of the notebook, besides business, is the games industry and ARM chips are nowhere near what x86 can do in that market. Neither can it match the performance required for a large chunk of desktop work.
    It might suit Apple to make is own mobile chips for tablets, after all Microsoft did the same thing, but that sort of technology is not as well researched or focused as Intel or AMD. Notice Apple has not tried to create any chip in either this space or graphics meaning it does not think it is up to it.

    Intel does not need PCs for growth



    Predicts it can make its cash elsewhere


    Intel said 2016 sales will climb in the "mid single-digit" percent range and said it didn’t need a buoyant personal-computer market to make piles of dosh.

    Chief Executive Officer Brian Krzanich told analysts that Intel’s growth was not dependent on its PC business.
    Intel is facing a weaker PC market and said that its revenue has been bolstered by demand for high-powered processors that run servers, the building blocks of cloud-computing centers.
    Additionally, orders for memory chips and processors used in new markets for Intel -- such as automotive and factory automation -- are helping to boost sales, the CEO said.
    Intel predicted gross margin, or the percentage of sales remaining after deducting the cost of production, of about 62 percent for 2016. It’s budgeting about $10 billion for spending on new plants and equipment and raised its quarterly dividend payout by 2 cents a share, the company said in a filing today. The higher payout is in line with Bloomberg’s dividend forecast for Intel.
    IDC Corp predicted that PC shipments are on course to shrink 4.9 percent to below 300 million units this year, after peaking at 364 million in 2011.
    Stacy Smith, Intel’s chief financial officer said that even if the PC market shrinks 10 percent, Intel expects to be able to grow in the low-single digit percentage range, said. If the market is flat, Intel will grow in the high-single digit percentage range, he said.
    While Intel got more than twice as much revenue from selling PC chips as it did from its data-centre group in the recent period, the two units brought in almost the same amount of operating profit.
    That change has been driven by Intel’s 99 percent market share in server chips and surging demand for the machines from operators of data centres, such as Amazon.com Inc. and Google, which are building up their capacity to provide computing power, storage and services via the Internet.
    Bill Holt, Intel’s head of manufacturing said that Chipzilla could reduce the cost of transistors which makes it worth investing in new production techniques. The company is maintaining its lead over TSMC and Samsung.
    Intel is also on track to cut losses by its mobile chip division and expects a reduction of about a $1 billion this year, Smith said. In 2016 it’s aiming to get another $800 million closer to profitability in that business, he said.

    Intel Announces Increase in Quarterly Cash Dividend

    At Intel Corporation's annual investor meeting today, the company announced that its board of directors has approved an increase in its cash dividend to $1.04 per-share on an annual basis, an eight-cent increase, beginning with the dividend that will be declared in the first quarter of 2016. Intel also provided the 2016 Business Outlook. "Our financials show that Intel's transformation is underway, and we're forecasting growth for 2016," said Stacy Smith, Intel CFO. "The 2016 dividend increase reflects confidence in the strategy and Intel's ongoing commitment to create value and return cash to shareholders."

    At today's investor meeting, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich addressed Intel's strategy to utilize the company's core assets to move into profitable, complementary market segments. He described Intel's Client Computing business as a strong foundation, which delivers healthy profits and critical intellectual property to the rest of Intel. The Data Center, Internet of Things and Memory businesses are expected to be growth engines for the company.

    Intel gets Qualcomm’s Renduchintala



    Expect something fabless

    Chipzilla has announced that it has a new president Dr. Venkata "Murthy" Renduchintala which it appeared to have headhunted from Qualcomm.

    Renduchintala will be president of a newly created Client and Internet of Things (IoT) Businesses and Systems Architecture Group which is a combination of Intel's Platform Engineering, Client Computing, IoT, Software and Services, and Design & Technology Solutions groups.
    However Renduchintala, who is replacing the departing Intel president Renée J. James, has been at Qualcomm for a jolly long time and had been tipped to be the supremo of Qualcomm’s chipset business. Qualcomm had been restructuring the job so that instead of being joint effort it would be under the control of one person.
    Qualcomm offered the job to Cristiano Amon. Murthy was offered another role within Qualcomm, but he chose to leave the company instead.
    We might be a bit cynical, but the the statement from Qualcomm was a bit bitchy:
    "A few months ago we made the decision to move away from a co-president leadership structure for QCT. was the clear choice as President of the chipset business. We made the decision to enhance the operation of QCT by having a single decision maker who has an exceptional track record of executing and has the confidence of the team and our customers. We are confident in Cristiano's leadership as we capitalize on the opportunities ahead."

    Intel loses LG’s Nuclun 2 to TSMC



    Low production capacity

    The dark satanic rumour mill has manufactured a hell on earth yarn that Intel will not be getting the work for LG’s Nuclun 2 because it lacks the production capacity.


    According to the rumours, LG is flat out trying to get the chip ready and avoid all the mess it made with the first generation Nuclun.

    LG has been working with Intel and TSMC, and created two Nuclun 2 chips. The one made by Chipzilla had the best performance, but Intel didn’t get the contract.
    Intel’s Nuclun 2 was based on the Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A72 cores which are working together in heterogeneous computing big.LITTLE architecture.
    Intel’s SoC is using a 14nm FinFET tech, and is running at 2.4GHz and would throw in a XMM 7360 modem with support for category 10 4G LTE connectivity speeds.
    TSMC’s flavour used a 16nm manufacturing process, and the CPU is running at 2.1GHz so Chipzilla should have won hand’s down.
    The rumour is that LG did not think that Intel could manage the high production capacity and gave the contract to TSMC.

    Intel Receives 2016 IEEE Corporate Innovation Award

    The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is awarding Intel its 2016 IEEE Corporate Innovation Award for "pioneering the use of high-k metal gate and tri-gate transistor technologies in high-volume manufacturing." Intel was the first to design, develop and manufacture products at high-volume using high-k and tri-gate (or FinFET) technologies. These innovations made it possible to continue scaling transistors ever smaller with lower cost-per-transistor, improved performance and lower power consumption – keeping Moore's Law going.

    Intel gets the iPhone C modem deal



    Exclusive: Spring launch
    Intel will be under the bonnet of the next generation iPhone C with its modem design. The company won't score the big iPhone 7 as this is in the safe hands of Qualcomm, Fudzilla and reveal.

    Intel has reached an agreement to build its wireless modem inside of the consumer version of the iPhone. This phone has a smaller screen than the 4.7 – probably 4.0 inches. It should launch in early 2016.
    It is hard to say if Apple plans to use iPhone 6C or iPhone 7C brand and we will stay away from the naming anything until we get something solid. Our sources in the Silicon Valley want to remain unnamed as Apple doesn’t really like big leaks.
    Intel has minions working on modem for the iPhone. Intel desperately wants this deal and probably made an offer to Apple that the company could not refuse. The company has a few modems that Apple might want. The most likely choice is the Intel XMM 7260 / XMM 7262 slim modems with LTA Advanced support. Both modems support Cat. 6 LTE-Advanced, 22 bands at 300 Mb/s including world support.
    The latest generation Cat 10. Intel XMM 7360 is an option in case Intel decides to dramatically reduce the price of the modem. This would without a doubt be the most important deal for Intel's wireless LTE 4G division.
    Our sources say that only way that Apple would drop the Intel modem from the iPhone (insert number) C is if Intel gets terribly late. So far our sources are quite sure that Intel gets the C, but not the next generation big – expensive iPhone.

    Intel completes Altera sale



    All your FPGA are belong to us
    Chipzilla has formally announed that it has completed the acquisition of Altera, a provider of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology in a deal which cost it $16.7 billion.

    The deal was announced on June 1. Altera will be swallowed up as a new Intel business unit called the Programmable Solutions Group (PSG), led by Altera veteran Dan McNamara.
    Intel said that Altera customers should not notice much difference and it will continue the support and future product development of Altera's many products, including FPGA, ARM-based SoC and power solutions.
    PSG will also work closely with Intel's Data Center Group and IoT Group to deliver the next generation of highly customized, integrated products and solutions, Chipzilla said.
    Intel CEO Brian Krzanich in a statement:
    "We will apply Moore's Law to grow today's FPGA business, and we'll invent new products that make amazing experiences of the future possible - experiences like autonomous driving and machine learning. Combining Altera's industry-leading FPGA technology and customer support with Intel's world-class semiconductor manufacturing capabilities will enable customers to create the next generation of electronic systems with unmatched performance and power efficiency."

    Intel gives Xiaomi a special deal



    Atom in every tablet

    Chipzilla is giving Xiaomi a free processor to install in its tablets as part of its sales push.

    According to Digitimes , Intel is bringing in the free chip deal to see off rivals like Qualcomm, MediaTek and China-based chip designers. While it will not make Intel any cash, it will boost the outfit’s market share.
    In addition to giving preferential pricing to clients with large orders, Intel has also cooperated with Rockchip and invested in Spreadtrum.
    Even free, Intel’s chip deal is a bit of coup. Chipzilla has been trying to get Xiaomi as a major client for a while. It adopted Intel's Atom X5-Z8500 in its Xiaomi Tablet 2 launched in late-November,
    Xiaomi's upcoming notebooks are expected to use Intel's Haswell-based Core processors.
    With Intel's discounts and Inventec's assistance, Xiaomi's notebooks have become competitive in both pricing and quality which will allow the China-based vendor to step on an equal footing against first-tier vendors such as Lenovo, Asustek Computer and Acer.
    Unfortunately Xiaomi only has only offered limited shipments for its tablets but Intel is hoping that it will lead to the company adopting Intel chips in its 70 million annual smartphone shipments.
    Since Xiaomi has also been aggressively expanding its smart home Internet of Things (IoT) supply chain, Intel's partnership with Xiaomi may help the CPU giant get a foot in the door there too.

    Intel acquires German drone company Ascending Technologies

    Intel has announced that it has acquired Ascending Technologies, a German company that specializes in detect-and-avoid systems for UAVs.


    Last year at CES 2015, Ascending Technologies helped Intel show off with a game of "drone ping pong", with the companies teasing a hovering drone that automatically moved away from people and objects that were close to it. The drone was called AscTech Firefly, featuring six of Intel's impressive RealSense depth cameras.

    Intel's acquisition of Ascending Technologies is a reiteration of its interest in the UAV business, which is something the company calls "an important computing platform of the future".

    Intel hits its conflict minerals goal

    Intel's Brian Krzanich has confirmed that all products shipped by the company from this year on will be free from 'conflict minerals,' fulfilling its 2014 pledge.


    Intel has announced that from this moment on, every piece of hardware it ships will be entirely free from 'conflict minerals' - materials mined in oppressive regimes, often through the use of forced labour.

    Modern electronics require a range of raw materials, and many of these are located within the borders of oppressive regimes: a 2012 estimate suggested that 80 per cent of the world's supply of columbite-tantalite, from which tantalum for capacitors is refined, came from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where armed groups such as the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) and rogue brigades of the official armed forces (FARDC) force subsistence miners into near-slave labour in order to fund arms deals. In 2012, Intel pledged to release a chip free from these minerals by 2013, eventually launching its first in 2014 before later that year announcing a plan to be entirely conflict-mineral-free by 2016.

    With 2016 here, Intel's Brian Krzanich has announced that its goal has been met: speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show this week, Krzanich confirmed that no products shipping from this year onwards will be produced with conflict minerals, and that items will be marked as 'conflict free' on the packaging in the near future. 'My hope is that Intel can influence an entirely new and different way of doing business,' Krzanich explained.

    The conflict mineral pledge is part of Intel's corporate and social responsibility (CSR) effort, which has seen the company call for action on climate change, renewable energy, diversity in the workplace and education, technological improvements to agriculture, and even using the Quark processor to track endangered rhinos.

    Intel Says Iris and Iris Pro Graphics Can Outperform 80% of Discrete GPUs – Casual and Mainstream Users Don’t Need dGPUs

    Intel has said that most casual and mainstream gamers don’t require a discrete graphics card as the iGPU that comes with their processors are powerful enough to meet their gaming demands. The statement was said by Vice President and General Manager of Intel’s desktop client’s platform, Gregory Bryant. The statement shows that Intel is confident enough to call their Iris chips as a competitive gaming solution against discrete graphics cards.

    Intel Claims Casual and Mainstream Audience Don’t Need a Discrete Graphics Card

    Gregory mentioned that Intel has gains in the graphics department on their Core processors which is quite true. He stated that Intel’s integrated graphics chips available today are 30 times more faster and better than what they were five years ago:
    “We have improved graphics 30 times what they were five years ago,” Bryant said during a speech at a J.P. Morgan forum last week at CES. via PCWorld
    He also said that the top-end graphics chips, known as Iris and Iris Pro can outperform 80 percent of discrete graphics chips available today however Intel hasn’t done a great job to showcase the benefits of their iGPUs in the consumer market and they will try to make up for it now:
    He said that the top-level graphics processors integrated in Intel’s chips, called Iris and Iris Pro, can outperform 80 percent of discrete graphics chips.However he thinks that Intel has done quite a poor job of communicating the benefits of integrated graphics. via Fudzilla
    There’s no doubt that Intel has made a tremendous improvement on their graphics chips. Starting with the 4th generation Haswell processors, Intel gave key improvements to their graphics core which now stands with over a TFLOPs of performance (Skylake). Intel has not only gave improvements to their hardware side but also made improvements in the software department adding support for DirectX 12 API, Vulkan API to their graphics chips and supporting three 4K monitors simultaneously off a single graphics processor.
    Advertisements


    Their graphics chips currently stand on par with AMD’s GCN architecture that is found on several APUs shipped in either laptops or desktop platforms. Surprisingly, the Intel Iris Pro 580 graphics chip which is expected to debut this quarter with the Intel Skull Canyon platform will actually be the first graphics chip from Intel that is faster than AMD’s top-end GCN core found on their Carrizo APUs.
    As for Intel saying that the chip is faster than 80% of discrete GPUs, they are probably talking about the entry level class which sell a lot in the discrete market. The Intel iGPUs are far from reaching mid-range performance but they have performance that can match entry level cards such as the GTX 750 or the Radeon R7 260. When Intel announced their next generation Skylake chips, we saw an incremental increase in graphics performance with the top level GPU going past the TFLOPs barrier with 1152 GFLOPs of processing power.

    Iris Pro can easily take on several discrete GPUs in the mobility sector and even the desktop market. It was just recently revealed by NVIDIA that only 1% (13 million) of the 1.5 Billion PCs around the globe are capable of running Virtual Reality. This is a shocking figure and we know that most PCs have an Intel based processor in side them. Given that only such a low number of PCs are capable of running virtual reality for which the base requirements are either a GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon R9 290 equivalent graphics card, their can’t be a whole lot of gaming PCs that are in the mid-range sector.
    For several users with entry level PCs, the Iris and Iris Pro chips are already a lot faster than the discrete graphics processors they are using. In a way, AMD and NVIDIA not providing any significant improvements in the low-end, entry-level market has brought Intel to the point where they can outperform 80% of the discrete class graphics cards. If we check out AMD and NVIDIA’s entry level options, we will find a card that has seen at least 2-3 rebrands from a previous generation core, namely the Radeon R5 series and the GeForce GT cards.
    Intel innovating in the graphics field is a good thing for the industry but for AAA gaming on higher resolutions with full VR/AR support, users should sight at nothing less than the best from NVIDIA and AMD as they offer faster frame rates, better performance and a superb gaming experience.

    Intel Welcomes Altera Employees

    On Tuesday, January 12, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich visited Altera headquarters in San Jose, CA and formally welcomed hundreds of new employees into Intel. The (former) Altera employees received new Intel badges and are now officially part of Intel's Programmable Solutions Group. A new sign was placed on the property designating the 101 Innovation Drive site as Intel's newest Silicon Valley campus. Intel announced earlier that it has completed the acquisition of Altera, a leading provider of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology. The acquisition complements Intel's leading-edge product portfolio and enables new classes of products in the high-growth data center and Internet of Things (IoT) market segments.

    Intel disappoints Wall Street wows others



    Jury is still out if it will have a good 2016

    Chipzilla reported strong quarterly profit but the news was overshadowed by concerns about slowing revenue growth in its highly profitable data centre business.

    The world's largest chipmaker reported data centre revenue of $4.31 billion in the fourth quarter ended December 26. Given the amount of focus Intel had been placing on high-end servers Wall Street had expected Intel to make $4.42 billion. This meant that revenue in the business rose only 4 percent from the preceding quarter, compared with the 8 percent growth in the third quarter.
    This sparked fears that Chipzilla’s might have some long term growth problems.
    Chief Executive Brian Krzanich tried to deal with the slump in PC chips by focusing on the business of supplying chips for high-end servers.
    But companies do not appear interested in upgrading because they are mostly planning a cloud push soon. This means sticking their old servers with tape and string to hold together long enough before the move to the cloud.
    But Intel knew this was happening. In October, Chipzilla warned that its 2015 revenue growth forecast for the data centre business would be lower because companies were slashing spending due to weak macroeconomic growth.
    Intel forecast revenue of $14.1 billion, plus or minus $500 million for the first quarter ending March. This is down 6 percent from the fourth quarter, the company said.
    Krzanich said on a post-earnings call said that the first quarter outlook reflects some caution for overall demand, particularly in China, we continue to expect solid growth in the business in 2016.
    Revenue in the personal computer business fell about 1 percent to $8.76 billion from a year earlier.
    Intel completed its $16.7 billion purchase of programmable-chip maker Altera in December, a deal that adds a new class of products to Intel's portfolio.
    The company's net income fell to $3.61 billion from $3.66 billion in the fourth quarter. Net revenue rose to $14.91 billion from $14.72 billion. Analysts on average had expected a revenue of $14.80 billion.
    But according to Technology Business Research analyst Krista Macomber it all shows that Intel is getting into 2016 having made all the changes it needed.
    She said that Intel closed out 2015 by capitalizing on high-end client processor demand and increasing revenue in strategic segments such as non-volatile memory (NVM), the Internet of Things (IoT), and next-generation data centre architectures.
    This meant that Intel’s revenue grew 1.3 per cent year-to-year to $14.9 billion in 4Q15 after two quarters of decline, and operating income declines slowed, dipping 3.5 per cent to $4.3 billion.
    The company’s shift to higher-end processors in its Client Computing Group (CCG), which contributes nearly 60 per cent of its quarterly revenue and operating income, increasingly influences its corporate performance, as well as its ability to invest in its ongoing expansion into growing, adjacent markets such as IoT and data centre.
    Intel’s CCG revenue slipped only one per cent year-to-year in C4Q15 after falling approximately 10% year-to-year in the first nine months of the year.
    Intel did reasonably well from its Skylake processors during the holiday period. Increased selling prices and stabilizing revenue helped to slow CCG operating income declines, a trend that is critical to Intel’s ability to continue investing in its targeted growth markets during 2016.
    Intel is also exhibiting success in its identified growth markets. The chip giant’s Data Centre Group (DCG) revenues rose 11 per cent year-to-year to $16 billion in 2015, driven by increasing traction in cloud providers’ data centres.
    “TBR believes this traction coupled with Intel’s growing investment in areas such as high-performance computing (HPC) position DCG to sustain double-digit growth in 2016. IoT revenues rose 7 per cent year-to-year to $2.3 billion in 2015, as Intel built use cases with marquee customers that will set the stage for broader adoption and accelerated growth in 2016,” she said.
    It looks like Intel expects China to consume nearly a third of the NAND chip market in 2016, which might sound optimistic given that China is in recession. However Intel is working to play a key role in helping China to build out this industry.
    In 4Q15, Intel Capital announced its plan to invest $5.5 billion in its Dalian facility in China, expanding its manufacturing capacity for non-volatile memory. The Dalian facility will house the initial production of the 3D NAND technology, slated for release in 2H16. The 3D NAND technology, developed jointly by Intel and Micron, will bring cost savings, lower power usage and high performance for a range of mobile consumers, marking an important investment area for Intel to increase market share.

    Penso que isto reflete o abrandamento que tem existindo na venda de componentes para PC onde temos assistido a um declinio constante mensal.
