Meanwhile Intel's sitting with record revenues & profits. Like they haven't had wake-up calls in their history ...
- scarface74 7y agoRIMs most profitable year was in 2010. Three years after the iPhone camera out. Profits are a lagging indicator.
- Synaesthesia 7y agoAlright, but Intel isn’t exactly RIM, they can adapt. They’ve been around for quite a while now! I obviously applaud the competition, both from AMD and ARM
- rleigh 7y agoCan they adapt in time? Being "around for a while" means nothing. There are thousands of big-name businesses that fail all the time after being in business for decades, or even centuries. As they say, past performance is not an indicator of future success...
- scarface74 7y agoI couldn’t find any numbers for the server market, but Apple alone sells more products based on their chip design than all of the personal computers sold worldwide. Intel has already lost the mobile market, threw the towel in on the cellular chip market and sold the division to Apple, lost the console market to AMD, and the worlds largest cloud provider AWS has started selling access to both AMD and ARM servers at a much cheaper cost/cpu rate. The education market is rapidly moving to ARM based Chromebooks.
