Previously, the network has already appeared information that the
company Texas Instruments to stop developing processors for mobile
phones and tablet series TI OMAP. Then, the company denied the message,
but as it turned out, it was true. The company will focus on developing
solutions for embedded electronics and other business, but for a
consumer device, it will not become a platform issue. This direction
will be minimized, production and development of OMAP processors
discontinued and 1700 jobs available in this area reduced. By the end of
2013 the company expects to save up to $ 450 million. At the same time
this year on the fees associated with the closing direction, the company
will spend $ 325 million, most of which will occur in the current
quarter. Despite the fact that the products are Texas Instruments are
present in the products that are popular in the market (Samsung galaxy
Nexus , Amazon Kindle Fire, Motorola DROID, and others), the competition
was too high. At the moment, the greatest impact on the market are
Qualcomm and Samsung, but next year and is expected to increase the
presence of Nvidia. For Texas Instruments obviously has no place.
Previously, the largest consumers of their products were Nokia and
Research in Motion, which are now not only have problems with the sales
of its smartphones, but also to create a model based on platforms from
other vendors.
