Intel Inside iPhone

Digitimes is reporting that Jobs and company may be seriously considering using a new Intel-based processor for future iterations of the iPhone. While the Cupertino company currently uses an ARM-based processor and a custom mainboard, part makers are now suggesting that Intel's new mobile internet device architecture, dubbed Moorestown, may in fact be a perfect fit for the iPhone…and presumably the iPod touch as well.

Intel revealed a Moorestown-based MID product with functions similar to Apple's iPhone at the recent Intel Developer Forum (IDF) [in] San Francisco. The Moorestown platform is expected to launch in 2009 and Apple is considering developing an iPhone based on it, stated the sources.

Because Moorestown will be based on Intel's much-hyped 45nn manufacturing process, that could mean your future iPhone will see an exponential boost in power-efficiency (both in active and idle modes) and performance. Good news considering Moorestown will also likely support 3G (HSDPA), Wi-Fi, and WiMax.

Electronista also notes that the processor change would also bring the iPhone's software closer in step with that of the company's Mac computer range.
