Thus the reason behind removing the headphone jack that fat intel inside
Intel modem is about 40% size of A10 chip. Why on earth it is still fabbed on 28km?
Though i left Intel , nice to see my hard work as a product. Hope the performance is comparable to competitor. Let us wait for people feedback.
I am not worried about the benefits or recognition or politics or the company. I worked hard there and getting the credit in my new company.
Its about making a product and seeing people using it. Its not easy to cross different mile stones / marketing / making people to use the product.
let us be positive. At-least people inside the company should be encouraged to further chipset releases.
its not easy for a company to sustain in UE market. compare to network market.
Yup, designed by infineon engineers, fabbed at Intel and sold at crazy good price so Apple could play a desperate BK and intel off Qualcomm.. Not much money but it will be hidden in the balance sheet behind x86, LOL
@jso yes 28nm waist. Apparently taken guys were shocked at size of Intel chips.
A10 has a fat friend to hang around with
