That sounds great! I think the original iPhone X is only like 200 Mbps.
"only"
it's way more than most providers can provide and more than most people get at home.
i'd be fine with 20 Mbps on a Phone.

Love ‘you have an LTE signal, and em or hate ‘em, Qualcomm has had years to perfect the LTE handoff on CDMA, and I don't know if I trust Intel with that yet. Could be a non-issue, but that’s my concern personally.

This tells me once again how once mighty Intel's manufacturing has fallen so deep. Barely 50% yield using its own 14nm process? And presumably still not the same quality as Qualcomm's, manufactured by TSMC or Samsung. No wonder no one want to use their foundry business.

Things will still be interesting this year, because the rumor is that the Intel modem WILL support CDMA for Verizon and Sprint, which means that Apple needs Qualcomm this time around only for more supply and not also for the lack of CDMA support from the Intel modems.
Still, there's nothing worse than unannounced differences for customers (such as the A9 TSMC vs. Samsung models or the more recent Intel vs. Qualcomm models from the iPhone 7/8/X).
Wonder how will this relate to the rumored dual SIM iPhone.
It is interesting watching the corporate strategy of Apple moving away (or trying to) from partners they have worked closely together before, like Google (maps), Samsung (screens, chips) , and now Qualcomm (modem).

Are you referencing when you are connected with an LTE signal, lose it, and need CDMA as a fallback?
look at the iphonex apple sued samsung but yet are using samsung screens and screwsWow! How is that gonna work if you try and go back to the supplier you are suing? Awkward!
More importantly, what are the chances those chips will fail and get pulled back in production with delays till 2019? Hopefully, the brains at Intel pulls a rabbit out of a hat and I'll be happy with the announcement of the X Plus.
You will be holding it wrong.Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Qualcomm has had years to perfect the LTE handoff on CDMA, and I don't know if I trust Intel with that yet. Could be a non-issue, but that’s my concern personally.

I've recently moved from iPhone 6S to iPhone X and the modem behaviour at the Cell Edge is terrible, over twice the ammount of dropped calls on the X (Intel modem) compared to the 6S (Qualcomm modem).
No, the XMM 7560 will offer Gigabit LTE.

I’m not sure it actually works like that.So I guess if I want to make sure I have a iPhone with a good chip/modem I better buy a current model rather than waiting 5 months in case they do put Intel “inside” (LOL) the new 2018 CDMA iPhone(s).
Apart from the quest for ridiculously fast speeds, I'm curious what people need with Gigabit LTE on their phones? Or even 200Mbps. How much data do you need in and out of your phone in a second?
It sounds like there is already some information out about the modems being used in the next generation of iPhones. Do we know if they will have 5G?
I remember that before the iPhone 6s came out, there were many posts wishing they had the Samsung chip, and putting down TSMC. But, a few weeks after the 6s launch, the benchmarks showed that the TSMC had the better performing chips.Sounds similar to the A9 production that was shared between 16nm TSMC and 14nm Samsung.
Yes a piece of the modem license -NOT a cut of the total price of the phone which is what they are charging Apple - big difference.Even if Intel starts making CDMA capable modems, Qualcomm still gets paid.
They own a huge chunk of CDMA patents.
Heck Qualcomm still gets a piece of every Intel modem sale due to the SEP licenses.
