Intel criticized Apple yesterday, claiming that the iPhone’s slow processing speeds are a result of Apple’s decision to stick with ARM chipsets. Pankaj Kedia, Intel’s director of ecosystems for its ultra-mobility group, added that “the smartphone of today is not very smart” because they use ARM.
Shane Wall, Intel’s VP, commented on the device’s inability to handle heavy processes. “Any sort of application that requires any horse power at all and the iPhone struggles,” he said, as quoted by ZDNet. He also added that although Apple managed to package the internet for the iPhone, the device fell short in a number of other areas.
The discussion came after Wall’s keynote, in which he maintained that a mobile device could only run the internet if it was equipped with Intel chipsets.
