Intel has noticed that different types of chips found in smartphones may start to hurt Intel's business. Since Intels chips in PC's have slowed down due to the rise in demand of smartphones this will cause negative numbers and loss of market for Intel. They want to get their chips into the smartphone industry to compete with ARM's marketable licensing. Other competitors are able to challenge Intel but Intel has the servers. Chips for smartphones are way less expensive than chips for PC processors. Intel already has servers that help run other mobile devices this would just be their way of expanding their technology and stretching their production posibilities curve outward. If they could get into the smartphone market they could become unstoppable. According to their research smartphone shipments have increased over 80%. Intel could start looking for a way to create a low cost and energy efficient processor. Intel still powers PC processors and hopes to find a way into the smartphone market. As Intel starts to invest more into this, competition could rise causing them to have to spend more to be in the lead if that will be possible. It seems that Intel, already globally known, could expand growth more and diversify to help sustain losses in the PC market. Would Intel computer chips in smartphones be a good idea? It seems that the cost of smartphones could boost tremendously if so. This could be the opportunity window that smartphone chip company's need to boost their business. There would be little competition if they suddenly acheived that access into the market. It could speed up phone connection at the cost of convenience.
I agree with you, I believe intel should definitely look into the smart phone business. Every knows that smart phones are hot right now and lets face it PCs are not. To date Microsoft stock is down nearly 7%. PCs are becoming old news. It would be in Intels best interest to focus almost all there attention it to smart phones
