Solve : Intel surrenders ... phone markets to ARM?

1.	Solve : Intel surrenders ... phone markets to ARM?
Answer» The full title is: Intel surrenders traditional tablet and phone markets to ARM by Michael Allison, about 7 months ago https://mspoweruser.com/intel-surrenders-traditional-tablet-phone-markets-arm/ While doing some research, I came across this article, which is story by itself. The gets of the story is that we are not going to see Intel chips on smartphones in the future. If Intel wants part of the action, it will give up on using real x86 type CPUs for smartphones and tablets. Quote Reports coming in indicate that part of Intel’s recently publicised culling was FOCUSED on eliminating the unprofitable ATOM division. Intel’s Broxton and SoFIA, two chips already scheduled to be in devices this year have been canned and Cherry Trail – the chip behind the Surface 3 – is following soon after. The justification for the culling is that Intel doesn’t sell enough of these chips to OEMs who move enough units to justify their existence. As for Cherry Trail, it has significant overlap with the more powerful Core M series when you consider what the aims (lighter devices, less heat) that OEMS would rather use the Core M in any case. Bear in mind this was written 7 months ago. You now know, or should know, that MS has made a change in plans for the Surface PRO 5. It is not said to be for next year. Most likely MS is doing some very tough design changes to improve the costs and performance of the Surface pro. Expect MS to do a new design of the ARM chip. Maybe.

Intel is going into the ARM business. (They got a new foundry for just ARM products.) EDIT: There is a story about China making a non-Intel chip that runs x86 code. But that is another story.

I doubt Intel "surrenders" anything...

Right!
One can not surrender something never owned.
