Which is better, Apple, Qualcomm or Intel?

1, there are many problems with Intel baseband.

iPhone？ XS and other series of mobile phones use Intel 4G baseband, but Intel does not seem to be strong in 5G baseband. Although Intel announced 5G baseband XMM8 160 earlier, it supports 6G, 3G and 2G modes, and also supports 5G SA and NSA networking modes.

However, Intel also has many problems in the 5G baseband. Previously, Intel engineers broke the news that the baseband yield was not high and there were problems such as fever.

More importantly, after 20 18 used Intel baseband on a large scale, Apple iPhone XS/XR and other mobile phones were exposed to poor signal quality, which had a bad impact on Apple's mobile phone reputation.

2, Qualcomm baseband speed is fast.

Android devices supported by Qualcomm baseband are faster than Apple devices exclusively using Intel baseband, among which T-Mobile is 53% faster and AT&T is 40% faster.

Whether the relationship between Qualcomm and Apple can be repaired in the future is still unknown, but it doesn't mean that Apple will always use Intel's baseband. Apple has always insisted on independent research and development of core hardware, and the autonomy of core chips is still a general trend. According to Calcalist, Apple refused Intel to provide Bluetooth chips and WiFi components for iPhone in 2020.

3. Qualcomm's 5G patent

Because the 5G era will come around 2020, and there are many 5G patents in Qualcomm, if the iPhone uses 5G in the future, it will definitely not bypass Qualcomm's baseband, but at least this year Apple may not use Qualcomm's baseband, and it is still unknown when it will reconcile with Qualcomm in the future.

Extended data

19, 17 On the morning of April 9, Intel announced its intention to quit the 5G smartphone modem business, and completed the evaluation of 4G and 5G modem opportunities in PCs, Internet of Things devices and other data-centric devices.

The news came after Apple and Qualcomm jointly announced that they had agreed to waive all lawsuits by agreement. Intel once became the baseband chip supplier of Apple iPhone. However, Intel did not explain in the statement whether this decision was related to the settlement between Apple and Qualcomm.

According to the agreement between Apple and Qualcomm, the two companies will sign a chip supply agreement, and Apple will pay the patent fee to Qualcomm. However, the two sides did not disclose the specific amount, which means that Apple's future iPhone will continue to use chip products from Qualcomm.
