Low-end target market, HTC Develop its own Processor

It seems that HTC will follow in the footsteps of Apple and Samsung. Taiwanese smartphone maker is reportedly working on its own processor. According to the China Times , HTC has signed a cooperation with ST-Ericsson to develop the chip. But unlike the high-performance CPU Samsung and Apple's flagship smartphone, HTC processors will be entering the low-end smartphone market. 


Devices with this new chip will begin shipping sometime in 2013. HTC signaled unhappiness with Qualcomm that supply most of the instruments. Because the HTC assess the price that must be paid to Qualcomm processor and do not touch the high fairly low-end market. If the HTC developed its own chip and switch to ST-Ericsson, the cost of manufacture is said to be less expensive CPU, so it can target devices for low-end market.
