An Intel chip in the next iPhone?

And if your next iPhone no longer had a radio but a Qualcomm 4G modem Intel? It is in any case understood that our colleagues from VentureBeat. They said Intel would have created an army of engineers: nearly 1000 people would be mobilized to integrate the house LTE modem 7360 (scheduled for the end of the year) in the next iPhone. According to Intel information would be hard at work to integrate the modem SoC (or System-on-a-chip) Traditional Apple: because point is question of x86 in the next iPhone. So it would be just for Intel to work with Apple to integrate on a single chip SoC Ax apple with a new modem. It would therefore be a single component smaller and more effective response to the current implementation. Then there is the question of the making of this SoC. Intel could take over the production of this new SoC, which would avoid the chipgate this year when TSMC and Samsung produce both a version of A9 SoC. This would certainly salt knowing that current Intel LTE modems as [actiu: 726517 XMM 7260] ... are manufactured by TSMC 28nm process on! The question is whether the rumor true and if Apple and Intel manage to find common ground, admitting that Intel keeps its internal deadlines, which seems to be the case so far. Recall that before Qualcomm takes all for the modem part of the iPhone is the German Infineon radio solution that provided to Apple. Infineon that the day it was bought by Intel no longer delivered any smart radio for iPhone.
