An executive of famous Britain-based chip maker, ARM Holdings Plc, which itself licenses many chips to other makers, stated on Monday that it is going to take all the plans of Intel Corp. to start making chips for rivals "very seriously." Intel declared just last week that it is considering to start making chips for its rivals, as it interprets this decision to be helpful in making the chipmaker gain better access in the mobile device kingdom. This will in turn be a major threat for ARM, as it is currently leading the chip making market of tablets and smartphones.

Intel has never done this before, so we have to take it very seriously," declared the V.P. of marketing at ARM, Ian Drew. Intel hopes that its unparallel lead in manufacturing techniques, due to computer chip manufacturing, will be extremely helpful in opening new factories to compete with its rivals.
