unlikely. intel's baseband originates from infineon which intel bought a couple of years back. Hence it probably was a pure ARM baseband until intel purchased them and insisted on using x86 cores?! very weird move, particularly as i'd assume it also still has ARM cores in the baseband, making it a mix of x86/ARM cores.
- stefan_ 8y agoA lot of the acquired expertise is just the analog stuff, which obviously doesn't care what the processor is very much. If you're shipping one of the highest-dollar chips in the iPhone, I'm sure cutting out ARM is one of the juiciest moves possible. That would have been a very big target for them.
