The Computer Hardware and Software Industry are all about tablets and software programs that are compatible with the tablets. The latest change presented by Microsoft is the fact that Windows 8 will be coming to tablets, which means that the Intel is coming to an end. Microsoft has created a buzz by allowing Windows to run on chips rather than on Intel’s processor. Windows 8 will be now be able to run on both, chips and Intel processors, created by the ARM-based semiconductors.
These chipsets are growing in popularity due to technological innovations and the production of smart-phones and tablets. Why are they so good? The ARM chips are known for their long-lasting battery life and connectivity. This innovation creates new opportunities for ARM-chipmakers like QualComm, Texas Instruments and Nvidia who will be able to cater to the needs of Microsoft.
The production of these new chipsets may have negative impacts on Intel as there may be a decrease in demand for their processors. However, Intel is taking advantage of this competition by further developing the idea of chipsets and now producing new 3-D chip designs.
I actually think that this is great for the industry. It'll be interesting to follow the competition between chips and Intel. Some very interesting and complex features may come out of this. I know I personally will be following this. Any thoughts on which will take a bigger part?
ReplyDeleteI definitely think we should research this further for our presentation. If this new technology does well I think it might be a very strong point that we can use to support a claim.
