Rumor bin: Apple iPhone to use Intel Silverthorne, Moorestown processors

According to a report by Apple Insider, Apple has plans to switch from Samsung processors to Intel’s Silverthorne for iPhone v2.0.

That should result in higher processing speeds for the iPhone and less expenses for Apple, while the devices could become sufficiently slimmer as a result of Silverthorne platform use due to integration of all main circuitry inside one very small chip (see photo of the Silverthorne below).

Apple Insider quotes unnamed sources speculating that Apple will also be using Intel’s Silverthorne mobile platform in a speculated on Apple line of super portable touchscreen personal computers, possibly due to be introduced at MacWorld 2008.

Furthermore, the report states the company might use the upcoming Moorestown mobile platform from Intel, in 2009 or 2010.

During the last IDF, Intel execs called Moorestown the ‘chip the iPhone would have wanted.’
