In a recent interview with Forbes, Nvidia’s CEO Jen-Hsun Huang stated that the group of companies that manufacture ARM-based mobile processors are beginning to create a dent in Intel’s impressive global CPU market share lead. Granted, as smartphone sales have recently surpassed PC sales, this is obviously something Intel should watch out for in the future. But when it comes to numbers, Intel still accounts for more than 80% of PC and server processors sold in 2011. I wouldn’t call that a dent.
The entire interview seems more like a marketing jab, especially considering the fact that Intel is about to release their own smartphone processor (codenamed Medfield). On this note, Huang went on to claim that Intel is so far behind in the mobile SoC game that their factories should focus instead on manufacturing ARM-based chips for companies such as Nvidia (of course), Qualcomm, Apple, and Texas Instruments. It’s much like telling Pepsi that they should give up their battle with Coca-Cola and start making Fanta and Sprite instead.
