    Anonymous, 21 Jul 2017haha really intel thats ironic and whats up with these com... moreNope, it's not that others can't provide the same product, because qualcomm did it first they charge other makers ridiculous royalties that they can't make a profit. The lawsuits is not that they shouldn't receive royalties it's that they're overcharging beyond what the rules allow.

      Anonymous, 21 Jul 2017Surprised that Intel is not the dominator of mobile SoCs.. ... moreYou don't know who is Qualcomm? Is the major player and the dominator of the mobile chipsets around the world. Now you know who is Qualcomm. Or you don't live in the same world of the majority of the people, or you are being ironic.

          intel jokes to themselves ..
          ....
          ..like i9

            2017, the year of acusements.
            Also the year of low tier chip manufacturers to step up their games.
            MediaTek did an excellent job with the optimization, power, and efficiency of the Helio P20.

              It is rich of intel to accuse people of this, but qualcomm making US compatible gsm modems, and selling them separately to other soc makers for more than some of their own socs is abusing a monopoly.
              There's a reason samsung doesn't exclusively use exynos.

                hahaha! Out of all the companies, Intel is accusing someone else of abusing monopoly position. It is the most hilarious situation where a company that is legendary for abusing monopoly position is accusing another, smaller one of doing the same. To be fair, Qualcomm is the Intel of mobile chips, and Intel got a pre-taste of their own medicine (though not as drastic as Intel is known for) on a market they are interested in entering.

                  TechLover1, 21 Jul 2017What do you think? The right answer must be 100% extremely ... moreAnd thus coming from Apple who could have paid 12.5% tax to Ireland so a third of what it would be levied in the US, made an 'Illegal' and secretive deal with the Irish tax authority so ended up paying less than 0.05% tax rate or evaded $14 billion.

                          Dear Intel,

                          Bugger-off.

                          Sincerely
                          The Public

                          (Dear AMD continue kicking butt with Ryzen, and MediaTek it's time you make high-quality ARM SoC's that appeal to the high-end consumer BUT make your chips accessible to enthusiasts with documentation, drivers, software, root, and all the support you can muster)
