The small chip manufacturer causes Ministry of National Defence to pay close attention to that the apple is purchased! ?
The spokesman of Apple verifies that has already agreed to purchase a small-scale microprocessor design company P.A.Semi. Company this it designs to be but famous with accurate low processor of consumption.
Spokesman of Apple Steve Dowling says, " Apple often purchases some small-scale scientific & technical corporations, usually we will not explain motive and plan bought to the public " . Steve refuses to announce that buys the detail of the agreement, but a person who knows inside information very well reveals to Forbes magazine, the amount of money of the whole pen trade is probably 278 million dollars. It is said Apple CEO Steve Jobs and iPod is in charge of Tony Fadell and play a main role in the trade.
This purchase may indicate the new tendency of Apple iPhone and iPod products, this is not the good news for doing one's utmost to agitate Apple to use intel of the own low consumption Atom processor. Forbes analyze, should cite, indicate apple try hard, make future generation their hold products keep the difference in numerous competitors that follow-up increase, because the latter adopts the majority the processor products of intel. Because it mobile phone opened up newly of markets have quite high expectations for time of continuing a journey of battery, Apple especially pays close attention to moving consumption of the processor too, so the energy-conservation of this company is designed it is probably the value attracting Apple most. Lehman Brothers report, Ben Reitzes of analyst, show well-informed person claim intel Company Atom chip perhaps unable to reach Apple exceed and relieve oneself in Wednesday Take and design the products for required time of continuing a journey of battery.
But another analysis report pointed out hereafter Apple bought P.A. Motive of Semi low consumption products but intellectual property right and research technical staff,etc. comprehensive assets their their. According to EETimes, verify in Apple before the purchase agreement for 2 days, P.A. Semi has warned its customer, buyers will purchase its company and stop the existing production line.
P.A. Semi was established in 2003, the founder was Dan Dobberpuhl, it was once the 1990s Digital Equipment (DEC) One of the creators in chief of company Alpha and Strong ARM microprocessor products. February of 2007, P.A. Semi has released a section of 64 nuclear processor products, it is said efficiency is like product 300%, and the consumption is only 5 to 13 watts ' 2GHz) .
Though has been still thought to just start, P.A. Semi has already made unprecedented success in the products are sold, and has got a large amount of input of military science and technology. Including from Lockheed Martin (Lockheed Martin) With Raytheon (Thunder God) Defending the apparatus and using PWRficient processor products of this young electronics corporation of the ones that exceeds 10 kinds, involves a lot of branches of the American military in the company inclusive. This, with generally using industrial general knowledge of testing the ripe but not brand-new and scientific and technological products to run counter to. According to one insider, have not seen the situation of so fast new products of acceptance in the field of military aviation yet.
Obviously this purchase of Apple will enable P.A including American military. Semi customer is influenced. Since P.A. Semi claims Apple has no intention to continue the development of the existing chip, resell others, otherwise the life of these products puts up with this end. Such being the case certainly will enable the existing customer of this company " Run out of food and fuel " . Until products develop, maintain cycle long company cause louder issues such as the Raytheon. So unexpected blanking may arouse the attention from American Ministry of National Defence, lead to the fact that exerts pressure on Apple. Though a sign does not reveal that there is situation interfered, P.A at present. Plan Ministry of National Defence supplier at Semi customer already on this question to " Have " Reflection.
