- brianwawok 10y agoI'm guessing because Linux on laptops isn't a big money maker. Linux on server is where Intel focuses.
- creshal 10y agoDifferent divisions doing different things. Intel is extremely interested in Linux for their HPC Itanium/Xeon range, moderately interested in Linux for other server and business hardware, as well as mobile; and Intel's consumer PC division doesn't give a fuck at all.
