They should instead buy a SoC company like mediatek and build own SoC competing apple AX series and Qualcomm 800 series with additional processing engine like neural engine etc.. also they should buy imagination technologies previous GPU technology supplier for apple which is already up for sale
This could greatly enhance android and they can start selling SoC along with software. If not they are dependent on Qualcomm to catch up with apple.
- bryanbuckley 9y agoGuess OMAP division was too expensive for them back in the day? A shame.
- bitmapbrother 9y agoOr they could do what Apple does and design their SoC's and send off the designs to TSMC for fabrication. Google has already poached Apple's lead chip architect in June of this year. https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/13/15791918/google-hires-apple-chip-architect-pixel-phones https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/13/15791918/google-hires-app...
- gxs 9y agoIt's interesting to watch the game of telephone unfold right before your eyes. >>> Google has already poached Apple's lead chip architect in June of this year. No where has it been mentioned that the person they poached was Apple's "lead" chip architect. All it says is that google poached An architect from Apple to be it's SoC lead.
- on_and_off 9y agoThere were strong rumors 1 or 2 years ago that Google was interested in building its own silicon in order ot have the SoC they want for the future of Android. Even if it is true, with Google's pathological lack of focus, this could have already been abandoned though.
- Jayakumark 9y agoTrue, I still feel Boston Dynamics has lot of potential in future, But google just sold it.. I dont know why they dont want to have a loss making division with high revenue possibility in the future.
