ARM CPU Microsoft alliance ushered in the Three Kingdoms era

 Recently, the International Consumer Electronics Show, Microsoft announced at CES2011, the next version of Windows will also support the British ARM (involved in electronics, semiconductor, microprocessor, smart mobile phone industry) structure and X86 architecture low-power SoC (SystemonaChip) processor.

media reports, Microsoft, Intel and AMD will continue to improve and upgrade the x86 architecture, including more energy-efficient systems, recently announced the second generation of the family and the AMD Core The Fusion Fusion APU. And Nvidia, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments will be working with Microsoft to support the first time in Windows ARM architecture processors. The industry believes that Microsoft's alliance ARM, the global CPU market, or will usher in a true era of the Three Kingdoms.

Microsoft to accelerate the pace of mobile Internet

in the past only for Microsoft, Intel developed a dominant desktop operating system market, but With the mobile Internet era, the field of mobile phone operating system, Microsoft is clearly behind Apple and Google. Analysis of the industry, the ARM-compatible processors that Microsoft will focus on expanding the mobile market, and the other, according to media reports, Microsoft's move is as a challenge to Apple and Google and smart phones in the flat position on the market.

dominant from the original PC software market, and today the mobile Internet market

ARM president of Tudor? Brown (TudorBrown) said that Microsoft needs to ARM, ARM-compatible processor with Windows operating system, Microsoft will eventually establish the importance of mobile internet . Although smart phones and Tablet PC market is the dominant Apple and Google, but Microsoft is not too late to enter this market.

compared with personal computers, smart phones implies more technical, equipment is more, in fact, more intelligent, location clearer. At present, the personal computer has lost the dominant position of computing platform, Apple is introducing a lot of very attractive products, Microsoft began to face the facts.

president of Microsoft's Windows and WindowsLive Stephen? Snow Ostrovsky (StevenSinofsky) said, the development of ideas. We will continue to improve Windows, and thus in the broadest form of hardware platforms and products available to consumers on the features they need. speed.

ARM advantage in

Data show that the third quarter of last year, Intel's share of the global chip market was 80.1% 80.0% compared to same period last year rose by only 0.1 percentage points, compared to 80.4% in the second quarter, 0.3 percentage points. AMD's market share has fallen sequential and year on year, but did not decline to 1 percentage point. AMD third quarter global market share of 11.3%, lower than the second quarter, 11.5% and 12.1% over the same period last year. Intel's third quarter operating income up 11.1 billion, while revenue ARM has none of these years more than 600 million U.S. dollars.

compared to Intel, AMD, ARM in market share appears to be negligible. But as long as the forefront of industry development stand, to face change, it is possible to achieve beyond, ARM provides a classic example.

smart phones, tablet PCs CPU prompted the rise of the industrial revolution. More and more enterprises to achieve cooperation with ARM, ARM low-power processors in areas such as the advantages of the ARM architecture is the development of a new standard for the mobile market. Data show, ARM obvious advantages in the field of mobile computing, mobile processors currently occupy 90%, 30% of the Internet Processor, Tablet PC processor market share of 80%. The world's leading smart phone manufacturers such as Motorola, Nokia, sports venues and the production of ARM CPU.
