- klodolph 11y agoIntel is already out of the shrinking PC market. Servers are incredibly popular. Even cloud servers use Intel CPUs, and when people buy more cell phones, companies buy more servers. A strategic foothold for x86 might be out of the question now, even given Intel's deep pockets, but that doesn't mean that they can't manufacture ARMs on their 14nm process, and the investors know this.
