What’s NEXT for Intel’s NEX? 🤔Not That Much, Actually! Intel Corporation’s Network and Edge (NEX) business unit isn’t grabbing headlines, but at TÉRAL RESEARCH, we’re paying close attention. Why? Because NEX houses all of Intel’s RAN, vRAN, open RAN, and open vRAN products—the technologies we track quarterly. Here’s the reality: NEX is shrinking, now accounting for just 11% of Intel’s total product revenue in 2Q24. During Intel’s earnings call on August 1, CEO Pat Gelsinger mentioned NEX only three times, with vague references to stability, inventory issues, and potential growth in 2025 and beyond. The real concern? Intel isn’t seeing a recovery in the telco space, despite its largest client, Ericsson, beginning to ship open RAN products to AT&T. Want to know more about what’s really happening with Intel’s NEX and what it means for the future of RAN? Our latest perspective dives deep into the numbers and implications. 📖 Get the latest Stéphane Téral’s Perspective here: https://lnkd.in/g275KVnE #Telecom #openran #vRAN #openvran #intel #telco

Intel has seen a decline in market share to its competitor AMD, which utilizes x86 architecture, and faces challenges from Arm-based rivals in several sectors. Additionally, the company has yet to respond effectively to Nvidia's rapid emergence in the burgeoning artificial intelligence (AI) chip market. What now: Nokia is replacing Intel silicon with Arm-based chips in its newest 5G products, coinciding with discussions about a potential Ericsson acquisition of Intel's assets.

... Telco ASIC/SoC... a complex business. Again, Iain Morris has come up with an article which I found rather insightful pulling together rumors and speculation around the divestiture of assets at #Intel and other moving pieces in the telco HW Industry. For the obvious reasons, I will not comment specifically on rumors/speculation of my current or former employer. The reasons I am highlighting this article are threefold: 1) good insights on the complexities of RAN + chip development. 2) the rumored changes might impact significantly Intel and portions of the telco HW industry. 3) balanced way of looking at ARM and x86 in RAN As I posted a few weeks ago, changes at Intel to make it a stronger company are wide ranging with potential impacts in manufacturing, x86, FPGA, and my portion of the industry: Telco. People are always first in my mind, so Intel's biggest impact is the 15%+ engineers who've been personally impacted by these changes: I've lost count of the number of goodbye messages and posts Ive seen on here with exceptional Intel engineers taking VSP or being impacted by a RIF. I am reflecting on my comments on "choose wisely" a bit more these days. In whatever direction Intel might go with NEX and other rumored divestitures, I wish my friends and colleagues at Intel my best wishes. Some exceptional engineers there caught up in some miscalculations by individuals in the Intel executive ranks. Let's see what Intel earnings call ... 🍿 #intel #ericsson #nokia #telco #asic #6g #SoC

🚀 Exciting developments in the telecom and tech sectors! Intel has been buzzing with activity lately. Just after CEO Pat Gelsinger announced a new turnaround strategy, there's talk of potential investments and acquisitions. Apollo Global Management might invest a whopping $5 billion, indicating strong faith in Intel's fresh direction. This helped Intel shares rise slightly, a positive sign amid a challenging year. Do you think this investment will pave the way for Intel's resurgence in the evolving AI era? Over in the US, Echostar has secured FCC approval for a new rollout timetable for its 5G network. Despite this positive development, challenges remain, with the company struggling to attract customers to its Boost Mobile brand. They promise nationwide coverage by the end of 2024, but will this be enough to turn their fortunes around? Telecom Italia's international unit, Sparkle, is making strides in quantum-safe networking. They've successfully completed a proof of concept using quantum key distribution technology in Athens, aiming for a commercial launch soon. This could be a game-changer in securing communications against future quantum computing threats. #Intel #Echostar #TelecomItalia

🌐 **Intel is pivoting its strategy in network assets—what’s next?** After a challenging period, Intel’s decision to seek a buyer for its network assets marks a significant shift. Following Nokia's choice to switch from Intel's chips in its 5G equipment, Intel has been re-evaluating its approach in the 5G infrastructure space, focusing on partnerships and potential exits. This move reflects Intel's changing priorities in response to market pressures and underscores the dynamic nature of the telecommunications industry, where agility and rapid adaptation are critical. For network operators and vendors alike, Intel’s restructuring could lead to new partnerships and growth avenues as they look for innovative ways to leverage emerging technologies. ⚙️ **Key takeaways:** 1. **Adapting to Market Realities:** Intel is strategically realigning to focus on core areas, considering options for its network infrastructure business to maximize resources and drive growth. 2. **Opportunities for Innovation:** As network demands rise, Intel's move may create opportunities for companies looking to bolster their 5G capabilities with high-quality network assets. 3. **Implications for Industry Stakeholders:** For vendors, operators, and tech providers, this is a chance to re-evaluate partnerships and explore new collaborations that support network evolution. As industry giants reposition themselves, it's clear that the telecommunications landscape will continue evolving rapidly. Intel’s actions could have ripple effects throughout the network supply chain, influencing 5G strategies and potentially accelerating innovation in the sector. #Intel #5G #Telecommunications #NetworkInfrastructure #Innovation #TechNews #Partnerships

#Samsung overtakes #Intel as the world's top #semiconductor provider Samsung Electronics is set to reclaim its position as the world’s top #semiconductor supplier for 2024, overtaking #Intel, according to market research firm Gartner on Jan. 26. While this signals a comeback for Samsung, the rankings do not include Taiwan’s TSMC, the world’s largest foundry. After struggling with declining profitability in #DRAM and #NAND flash products, #Samsung appears to have achieved a notable rebound in sales last year. SK hynix, the world’s second-largest #memory chipmaker after #Samsung is expected to climb to fourth place. The chipmaker benefited from its leadership position in the high-bandwidth #memory (#HBM) market, which has been rapidly growing amid surging demand for artificial intelligence. HBM is a crucial component of generative #AI systems. Gartner estimated global #semiconductor sales to have reached $626 billion last year, up 18.1% from $530 billion in 2023. The combined revenue of the world’s top 25 #semiconductor providers is projected to have increased 21.1% last year, pushing up their collective market share in the global #semiconductor market from 75.3% in 2023 to 77.2% in 2024. While sales of high-performance chips such as #HBM surged on the back of a global #AI boom, demand for general-purpose chips faltered amid a broader semiconductor market slowdown. This has led to mixed fortunes for semiconductor companies. Samsung Electronics is expected to regain the world’s top spot in #semiconductor sales a year after losing it to #Intel in 2023. Samsung’s #semiconductor revenue for last year is estimated at $66.5 billion, up 62.5% from the previous year. “Memory chip sales, which had declined for two consecutive years, rebounded significantly last year,” said Gartner. “#Samsung is projected to have achieved a compound annual growth rate of 4.9% over the five years leading up to 2024.” https://lnkd.in/eYBj_tGV #embedded #embeddedsystems #IIOT #industry40 #technology #storage #memory #NAND #eMMC #SSD #electronics #flashmemoryhttps://
