And yet they still have the lion's share of the market. And the money to eventually recover from this as if nothing happened.
Tell me when they have really fallen. Still very far from it.
- Analemma_ 7y agoThat means very little. As the saying goes, “How did you go bankrupt?” “Two ways: gradually, then all at once.” In technology, downward swings of fate tend to come fast and hard. The camera world went from 100% film to 100% digital in the space of about five years, which extinguished Kodak. Or consider Palm/Nokia/ Blackberry, who went from collectively owning the entire mobile market to dead as doorknobs in even less time. It’s easy to see how it happens to Intel too: AMD’s big-core-count chips start eating up server business, while ARM takes over PCs (at this point people consider it all but certain Apple is switching to ARM in the next few years, and Microsoft is building Windows on ARM as a hedge), and without another business for Intel to fall back on (they’ve shut down modems, mobile chips, and anything else that could’ve been a new source of revenue), that’s the end. I’m not saying it’s certain, but I’m saying it’s totally possible and their current market share means nothing.
