Rumors arise that Apple would be interested in buying Intel's 5G modem division, after breaking an agreement between both parties for these chips.
There was a time when Intel and Apple smiled in public, while privately stabbing each other in the back. The two companies were publicly understood by some favorable deals for both companies. Relationships that have ceased to be idyllic in public and some other attack has existed from Apple to Intel. The last one has been accuse Intel of losing sales of MacBook laptops, due to the shortage of Intel processors. Public hostilities that began after breaking an agreement between Apple and Intel for 5G modems.
Apple would like to buy Intel's 5G modem division
Intel has put aside 5G modems, which it has developed for quite some time, but which would be a chestnut. There are no details about it and it is that the opacity of Intel is quite known by everyone. Apple was going to buy 5G modems from Intel in a succulent deal for both parties. But the modems seem to not meet Apple standards (I guess it will cost € 200 per chip).
What is better known is that Apple would have paid Qualcomm $ 4 billion to resolve the conflict with Qualcomm. A resolution that also included a technology license for 500G modems. After that agreement, Intel shelved 5G modems.
If something was missing in this surreal story, now comes Apple with the intention of buying the 5G modem division of Intel. Chipzilla has been the one who has revealed the information, obtained from the Infineon company, which is now a subsidiary of Intel.
Intel has long wanted to get rid of the dead man and is looking for a buyer. According to Intel: “We have engaged outside consultants to help us evaluate strategic options for our 5G wireless phone business. We have created value in both our wireless modem product portfolio and our intellectual property. "
Some former Infineon engineers and executives went to Apple when it was acquired by Intel. Of course, with these stories of love, hate and interest, Camela brings out a whole album from you.
