Apple iPhone Components? No Intel Chip.

sound right, we won't know exactly for sure.. but ah if you have experiance with solid understanding of embedded hardware platforms (ARM processors, SDIO, UARTs, etc), move to apple?

This Reuter's article title bluntly states that the Apple TV has an Intel chip however the iPhone does not. That's big news? Intel isn't the only chip company on the planet.

I'm not surprised - Intel's specialty isn't exactly cell phone processors.

that was my thought... does intel make a chip that would even work with that type of form factor??

is this even a big deal? is intel gonna be all whiney because apple didn't use their non-existant chip?

let's hear more about what is in the device... this samsung arm deal... is that pretty powerful? my experience with phones today is that they are all underpowered severely for the features they have... hopefully this is not the case here...

Xscale?

It's strange they'd go to a competitor of Intel's in this market for the processor. Must be a cost issue.

Samsung has been developing processors for high-end performance
on mobile phones for years. I imagine they would offer the greatest
performance of all chip companies. Imagine and iPhone advertised
with 'liquid cooling.':eek:

This isn't the first time that Reuters have been seen to be publishing untrue stories and passing them off as real news.

It's not even the first time they've done that about Apple either.

If Reuters say Intel and somebody else says not, I'll go with the somebody else until I hear it from Apple.

I cant believe people try and make a big deal out of something so small.

bah, Apple dont have to use Intel chips in everything they make. End of the day, Apple wants a low powered machine with sufficient battery life. Although thats unknown until its out on the market.

They sold the chip to Marvell

Here's why not Xscale (I'm shocked some of you aren't aware of Xscale btw.)

Haha yeah, just found that out.
