The iPhone (no, not
that iPhone, or
this one either) is powered by an Intel processor, right? Afterall, Steve Jobs
told us all himself that one of the major reasons for making the switch to Intel was due to their sexy silicon roadmap. Well you, and pretty much everyone else would be wrong. The all seeing, all powerful iPhone -- just
like the iPod -- is powered by a Samsung processor according to an Apple spokeswoman speaking to
Reuters. FBR Research believes that the remaining major components are supplied by Marvell (802.11), Infineon Technologies (baseband), Broadcom Corp. (touch screen controller), and Cambridge Silicon Radio (Bluetooth). However, we won't know for sure until the iPhone
undergoes the knife.
