While I hate to put down an effort before it even gets off the ground, there is some truth to this. Their recent failed push into 'wearables' was a great example. They bought up a number of small(ish) but interesting players (Basis, Recon Jet etc) and squandered them completely. Their complete missing the boat on smartphones, save perhaps a small amount of modem chip business the past couple of years, is especially damning. With GPUs there's the whole failed Larrabee thing as well. If Intel ever acquire a company I care about I will be extremely concerned.
