Commenting on the new architecture of 3D transistors that Intel unveiled earlier this week, former Apple executive and founder of the defunct BeOS, Jean-Louis Gassee, said the chip giant will have no choice but to enter the market mobile devices, since the personal computer industry "is dying. "
"Now that the PC market is in its twilight with the proliferation of mobile devices that are robbing consumers of traditional computers, Intel will have to enter this race, " he said, noting that "every time the company introduced a chip for handsets Mobile ARM had something better hidden in their sleeves. "
"Over the past four years they have argued that the x86 architecture would come to mobile devices, and has even developed an own operating systems such as Moblin and Meego, in partnership with Nokia (...) But the Finns wisely decided to focus on Windows 7 Phone "she recalls.
In view of Gassee, "there is no signal" to the rumor that Apple switch to Intel processors by ARM in 2013. "They have no plan to develop products for computing-intensive, " he concludes.
