Samsung will not suffer if Apple refuses its services to produce mobile processor

Everything points to the fact that Apple is going to deny service to Samsung Electronics for the supply of mobile processors. Based on the numerous reports in the press, the volume of orders has decreased and in the future of the necessary supplies, or even all of them can get another contract manufacturer.

However, according to observers Digitimes, Apple loss orders on mobile chips will not affect the Samsung. The publication says that the business of Korean company to produce logic integrated circuits will develop rapidly, thanks to strong demand for smartphones, tablets and other portable devices manufactured by most Samsung.

The fact that Samsung mobile gadgets in constant demand, but for them also needs processors. The proper production provides only a third of the needs of processors for smartphones and tablets Korean manufacturer, as most of the resources are occupied by orders for components for the iPhone and iPad. If this year Apple stopped ordering chips from Samsung, the South Korean company will be able to better meet their own needs.

Currently, Samsung manufactures chips for its products only the upper segment, including the Galaxy S III, Galaxy S II and Note 2, the total volume of shipments in 2012 are estimated at 40-50 million. In units of mass and the lower segment, it uses chips from some accepted companies.

According to analysts, this year, Samsung will release for their needs 105 million processors, which corresponds to a load of more than 50% of production capacity.

Apple wants to undermine sales of ultrabooks, cheaper MacBook Air

If such classes as "tablet", "netbook" and "notebook" are abstract names by some types of computing devices, sharing common properties, belongs to the class of ultrabooks private companies - Intel and Apple, although the company from Cupertino, in fact, are only responsible for the development of the concept, promoting its ultra-thin laptop MacBook Air. And, as the owner of a whole class, Intel is trying to establish its own rules and standards of this forced to compete with the computer on the operating system OS X.

As it became known, Apple sent to their supply chain needs to suppliers on price, intending to make this summer's review of its notebooks, including the line of MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. This situation has caused concern producers ultrathin laptops. The main pressure on the market ultrabook comes from the value of their prototype - MacBook Air, since Apple wants to reduce the cost of current models on the eve of the launch of new, eroding demand for similar solutions from other vendors.

According to sources, in June, "EIR" will undergo a number of changes. They do not affect the external design of machines and will be exclusively internal. It is a new line of computer processors used in the MacBook Air. The exhibition CES 2013 Intel will introduce the fourth generation Core processors, code-named Haswell. That they have to be part of the updated Apple laptops 2013 release.

Since the main advantage of Haswell is the increased level of energy, their use will make the design of laptops even thinner and increase the rate of battery life. Another advantage of the new chips are built-in graphics core, which saw the most marked increase in performance over previous generation processors.

In 2013, Apple plans to ship 17 million notebook MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.
