          I bet it uses the 14nm+++ process to make such a modem. Well, I'm glad 2G is still there. There are still billions who relied of SMS just as much as 3G/4G/5G chatting.

            Well, that announcement is just PR, there's no product yet and hard to say when Intel will have one available. Even the picture of the chip (the one at the header of news) is photoshoped...

              GOOGL, 13 Nov 2018Qualcomm with it's 8150 and then the Intel with it's 8160. ... moreSD8150 is a mobile processor. The Intel XMM 8160 is a modem. That's a whole different thing

                backwards compatability plus very broad lte support will make this chip the one to beat.

                  Maybe Intel should just die. Everything they do, another does better.

                    In the rush to market hope the standards were in place before implementation and not visa versa.

                      Thank you for making the XMM 8160 5G modem backwards compatible with all networks down to 2G, Intel.

                        Qualcomm with it's 8150 and then the Intel with it's 8160. Coincidence? I think not :D

                          I don't know what the hell thus means.
