Intel quit making ARM cpus right before smartphones took off. They sold off their LTE modem division essentially giving Qualcomm a monopoly. Now they might give up on GPUs.
Intel is way too quick to give up. Imagine if they had continued to make ARM CPUs. Apple may have never pursued making their own chips. Intel CPU's + modems could be competing with Qualcomm for every mobile device sold today.
- UncleOxidant 4y agoI think it was more hubris that caused them to stop making ARM chips as opposed to "giving up". They were still in the "x86 everywhere" mindset back then. Remember when they were trying to get x86 into phones & tablets?
