Intel Corp., struggling to break into the market for chips that run tablets, is teaming up with China’s Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Co. on a new product for mobile devices.
The chipmakers signed an agreement to jointly offer a quad-core processor and integrated modem called Sofia, which will be available in the first half of 2015, Intel said today in a statement. Rockchip will market the chip to its Chinese customers, Intel Chief Executive Officer Brian Krzanich said on a conference call. The U.S. company isn’t investing in Rockchip or providing financial support, he said.
