Intel to power LTE Modems in next generation iPhone


VentureBeat reported, Intel's special team based on 1,000 employees working to build LTE Modem chips for next-generation iPhone. But Intel may supply its 7360 LTE modem chip to Apple for next generation iPhone.

Intel hopes to provide its LTE modem for at least some of the iPhones in 2016. Current iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are powered by Qualcomm's 9X45 LTE chip, nearly all Apple product's modems come from Qualcomm.

Intel's new LTE modem "7360 LTE" could start shipping for next-generation iPhone later this year while the manufacturers will start implementing them in 2016. Intel considers this partnership as its key for future of mobile space. Apple demands in bulk with large-scale production which arises the need for more then 1,000 employees team.

Apple has done the deal, but importantly Apple is still making sure that intel could meet the demand before signing the agreement. But another reason could be Apple planning to go more deeper than LTE Modem chips from Intel.

Another report claims that Apple would create a system on a chip for next generation iPhone that will combine both Ax chip and LTE modem chip and this step could provide huge performence boost including better speed, better battery life.

Yet Apple is using 20-nanometer processor produced from both TSMC and Samsung, but Intel's chip will be made from 14-nanometer process, Intel is also working on 10-nanometer chip and Apple is quite interested.

Apple is sending engineers to work with Intel on the project.

Intel with Micron announced revolutionary new memory, 1,000 time faster then SSD's


Today Intel announced 3D Xpoint, a revolution in Memory after 25 years,This is a new Memory technology that is said to be breakthrough in the memory competition, In 3D Xpoint “X” represents cross point so it is called 3D cross point technology, Intel Claims that This memory is 1,000 times faster then the existing SSD’s and NAND Flash Storages used in the Smartphones and its the most durable memory invented yet.


This technology is invented by Intel and Micron and they says that 3D Xpoint are used to make a non-volatile, High-performance, High Capacity storage and most importantly to make it affordable also. 1,000 times faster then SSD’s but also 10 times faster then the DRAM ships used in Computer, So the Data will be accessible  even more faster then RAM Access.


But 3D XPoint technology in smartphone and computer will make them significantly faster. With so much, 3D Xpoint technology is also versatile enough to take the DRAM Position and faster and Stable that much to used for Storage. But initially Capacity of 3D XPoint memory will be 128GB but will be increased in Future.

Not Only Smartphone and computer will be affected but it will also revolutionise the Financial Transaction technologies to get rid of frauds and help researchers and analyzers and will also prove revolutionary for Gaming. 

This technology is going to better from All sort but Expensive also at the launch but may get cheap after some years and improve also, Many of the viewer are hoping for Apple to adopt this Technology at the start as its excitingly great and Apple often used to fit Latest technologies in its machines. Intel says its Sample will be available later this year but launch may take a little time.


Are you excited about the posisbilities with this new technology?
