In-Stat, a market research agency, issued a report today, saying that with the popularity of handheld mobile devices such as smart phones, its small processors have also been at the forefront of the times, while the traditional PC processor's living space is gradually being squeezed. Pressure.
In-Stat pointed out that PC processor chips have always been the most advanced, powerful, and artistic, so today only two companies can develop and withdraw new products year by year, but the development of traditional PCs has encountered bottlenecks, mobile and small portable platforms. Prosperity has spawned hundreds of new chip designers. Although they can not compete with Intel and AMD in performance, they quickly occupy the market with ultra-low power consumption and wide platform support.
In-Stat explained that the PC industry is plagued by old operating system models, limited user interface modes, and device-centric business models. Handheld mobile devices are often able to welcome and popularize new technologies such as touch screens, Sensors and so on, therefore, have become typical representatives of innovation in software, user interface and even hardware technology.
In-Stat therefore expects that the total market size of mobile processors will reach approximately 4 billion in 2014, while at the same time pushing the market share of traditional PC processors below 10%.
In addition, although Intel is also actively seeking to introduce its x86 architecture into mobile platforms such as mobile phones, In-Stat believes that it will still be ARM's world.
Another point is that by 2012, the integrated graphics core will become the standard configuration of mobile processors. Integrating the baseband modem will also be the key point for future mobile processor competition.
