The chipmaker giant will be spending this massive amount over the next year to boost its hardware offerings.

Intel has already been making some important moves into the world of mobile technology, some of which have been making some rather important headlines, such as in the case of the wearables that it will be powering once they are released.

However, among its most recent mobile tech headlines has been the billions in investments it now plans to make.

The goal of the $1.6 billion in total investments will be to improve their position in mobile technology hardware development, with a particular focus on tablets and smartphones. ARM has already been taking in considerable successes within the mobile tech sphere, as the United States and the rest of the world find themselves being swamped with a nearly endless range of new products. Although Intel may not have been one of the companies that was first to move into this environment, it is hoping that by making a sizeable enough investment into the hardware in this category, it will be able to become a true competitor in this area.

Intel has also made efforts toward diversification within its new place in the mobile technology marketplace.

It has created a range of new relationships with Chinese businesses in order to be able to manufacture its new CPUs for mobile devices. The $1.6 billion that Intel plans to invest in smartphones, tablets, and other mobile gadgets will be spread out over the next decade and a half in order to create a new China based manufacturing facility that is going to focus on the production of mobile computer chips.

Intel is also hopeful that this facility will also be usable by other third party organizations, such as Apple. Principal analyst at Mercury Research, Dean McCarron, explained that “It makes sense because Intel likes to make manufacturing facilities in technically sophisticated markets, which China is.” McCarron also explained that if a company such as Apple were ever to step up to Intel and explain that they would like a custom part for a mobile technology device, then it is more than clear that Intel would be willing and able to manufacture it with such a facility in place.

Users of mobile devices are always looking for promotions with the best offerings.

As consumers use their mobile devices on an increasing rate for various daily online activities, data plans have become a critical part of their ability to access the internet when they are not within range of a WiFi connection.

This has created massive competition among the mobile service carriers across the country.

AT&T has now announced its latest promotion which doubles the size of its largest data plans. At the moment, the 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50GB Mobile Share Plans will all be doubled so that they will provide their subscribers with 30, 40, 60, 80, and 100GB respectively, for the same price. This promotion is already in effect and is generating a massive amount of interest for consumers who already adore their mobile internet and for those who have been looking to connect for the first time.

Considering the use of mobile devices, these days, it is easy to burn through data plans in one month.

This has given consumers every reason to sign their mobile devices up for shared plans with friends or family in order to be able to save money on their internet usage while outside of WiFi range. The plan that appears to be drawing the largest amount of interest, at the moment, currently costs $130 for 30GB. It costs only $30 more than the AT&T standard price for 10GB.

This means that on the promotion for 30GB, the consumer would pay $4.33, instead of paying $25 per GB on the off-promotion standard 10GB plan. That said, if consumers are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity, then they are urged to contact the company now because it is running the promotion only until Halloween. That said, once signed up, as long as the plan is not changed, it will be grandfathered for life, so this could be a deal worth checking out.

AT&T is offering these data plans not only to new customers, but they have also made the noteworthy move of offering their customers who already have one of these plans the opportunity to sign up for the improved pricing for double the data, provided that they contact the company within the required period of time.
