Competition for high-growth mobile chip market escalating in 2009, says In-Stat

The battle for the fast-growing mobile semiconductor market will intensify in late 2009 with the introduction of new processors from each camp - ARM and x86, reports In-Stat. Intel will introduce processors that will finally reduce the power consumption of the x86 architecture to acceptable levels for smartphones and other mobile devices. Shortly after, many in the competing ARM camp, including Freescale, Texas Instruments (TI), and Samsung Electronics, will essentially be scaling up performance with multi-core processors that maintain similar power levels to existing single-core products.
