Intel Chips have historically been more popular in computers than any other processing chip. However, a lot of business is lost to other companies that are less predominate in the computer industry. This is caused by Intel’s lack of presence in tablets and smart-phones. The most popular company running these mobile devices is Apple. They use custom chips that are based on a design from a rival company of Intel’s, called ARM. However, the late Steve Jobs was beginning to question reluctance to buy into another company’s chip. Before his death, he wanted to change the chips in one of the company’s biggest products, the iPad, to Intel. Jobs had known the CEO of Intel for quite some time and and worked with him during the early stages of the iPad’s construction. However, when the time came to make the decision, advisers convinced Jobs that custom chips would be better for the tablet. Slowly, Jobs began to think that the same chips hard-wired into his computers would work well in his mobile devices. Jobs began working on a way to put Intel chips into the next iPad before his resignation and untimely death. Without Steve Jobs as the CEO, nobody really knows what will be put into future mobile devices.
