Where Qualcomm has an unparalleled market share thanks to its LTE and chipset market, Intel looks to threaten that with the announcement of its XMM 8060 5G. In doing so, Intel has unveiled its first commercial 5G modem and if you’ve seen the latest news where Intel is providing 4G LTE chips to Apple, then you can only guess what the next upgrade the iPhone lineup will be receiving in the distant future.

With Intel’s XMM 7660 expected to arrive in 2019 for mobile phones, do not expect the XMM 8060 to come in such a hurry either. According to the chip manufacturer, these commercial 5G modems are expected to pave their way and attempt to bulldoze the competition in mid-2019, which is a whole year after the XMM 7660 is officially deployed in smartphones.
