Intel chip will offer its low-cost named Sofia to equipment manufacturers by the end of this year, so smartphones and tablets cost less than 100 dollars will be available next year.
Agenda was discovered by Hermann EUL, vice president and general manager of mobile and communications group within Intel in an interview for Intel developers forum in San Francisco.
Sofia microchip will have an x86 processor and an integrated 3G modem. Models with higher priced products with chip and support for LTE Sophia will be available next year. Intel d start to send Sofia with LTE chip during the first half of next year. "LTE is a segment with a higher price," said EUL.
With Sophia chip, Intel hopes to win those years of effort in the smartphones market dominated by ARM processor that offers designs used in some of the products sold. Intel chips are used in some small equipment, but the company hopes that Sofia will be the starting point of a huge increase in the low-cost market.
Intel hopes to work with at least 12 smartphones next year manufacturer said Intel CEO of a group of reporters before the conference IDF.
Intel has started a collaboration with the Chinese manufacturer Rockchip çipeve to produce variants of models for tablets and smartphones Sophia low cost. First Dual Core chip of this alliance will come in mid-2015, followed by a Quad Core version. Rockchip for a long time has been producing low-cost chips based on ARM architecture used in the device cost less than $ 100.
"But the world is moving towards LTE, there will be demand for these 3G chips? There are some parts of the planet that does not have LTE for some time. They will likely choose products with reasonable cost. "Said EUL.
