In recent years, Intel has begun to hit the wall in improving the performance of its own CPU. Its efforts to build mobile processors haven\u2019t gone so well.

For a time Apple even bought billions of dollars of baseband modems for iPhones from Intel, but the company hasn\u2019t been able to scale up to 5G.
