Intel has announced that one of its factories will start making smartphone chips based on designs by the UK-based firm ARM.

 

LG has been announced as the first client to take advantage of the tie-up.

 

Intel and ARM are often perceived as being rivals. Intel's x86 chip architecture dominates the PC sector while ARM-based chips are used in most phones and tablets.

But the two said they expected the move to be "mutually beneficial".
