Intel previews multimode LTE chips, with eyes on U.S. handset market Aug 19th 2013, 20:57, by Mark Hachman Intel will ship multimode LTE capabilities by the end of the month, Intel executives said Monday. It's a technology the company is throwing its weight behind—and needs, if it's to compete in the U.S. market. Why? Because LTE is a pitch right in Intel's wheelhouse—high-speed mobile data makes the company's CPUs and GPUs even more valuable, while the relatively high power consumption those chips require can be mitigated with Intel's process technology. And LTE has been the gating factor in placing Intel's mobile chips into U.S. handsets. Mark Hachman Hermann Eul, the general manager of the Intel Mobile and Communications Group, shows off the XMM 7160 at a press event Monday. Intel began shipping a single-mode LTE solution in the fourth quarter of 2012, and it plans to ship a multimode chip, the XMM 7160, by the end of the month, Aicha Evans, the vice president of Intel's Mobile and Communications Group, said in a press conference on Monday.
