- jandrese 7y agoIntel can coast on corporate inertia for some time. They weathered the Netburst era alright from the Dells and Apples of the world being married to Intel. I'm personally excited for actual competition in the CPU space. It seems like this entire decade has been in the doldrums with CPU growth. Someone needs to Conroe the market again.

Apple is probably moving to ARM over the next few years starting at the low end and with Microsoft trying to get Windows running well on ARM chips, Intel may be “stuck” with just selling high margin server chips. Whether being stuck selling high end chips is a bad thing, I’m not sure.
