article published on 14 December, 2011
According to Piper Jaffray analyst Gus Richard, Intel is falling behind in the processor market thanks to their failure to compete in the lucrative mobile device segment.
While Intel has continued to concentrate primarily on performance, says Richard, consumer interest has largely shifted to convenience and mobility. As a result, the SoC (System on a Chip) processor has become increasingly important.

I can think of a dozen other reasons that are better than that to show whats wrong with the world. Starting with most Analysts being anal about the topic they are discussing.

Well the basis of the article is true in a way given that intel does not have any SoCs for smart phones on the market, and the best offering they have for the tablet market are the Atom CPUs which are not quite as power efficient as the likes of the TI,Samsung,and Nvidia SoCs I believe. In that regard they are lacking but by the title of the article, it makes it sound as if they are lagging in the true CPU market, and to some degree I think that is true. From the sounds of it, based on an article I read(Why is Ivy Bridge still Quad Core) Ivy Bridge could expand core counts but Intel is holding back to keep Sandy Bridge from looking to out dated.

Intel is holding back sandy bridge because their only competitor (AMD) isn't even close. Once AMD releases a good chip, Intel will spank them with an even better one. The truth is that Intel is the world leader at what they do, and people still use PCs.

Maybe people who do nothing but email and facebook...let them try encoding a 1080P video with an iPad and say that the performance is better. Heck, let them try to edit a spreadsheet and say the performance is better.

LoL...the iPad doesn't even have 4G...and page loads are slow even when on WiFi.

Intel is an evil behemoth (still under multiple anti-trust investigations in multiple countries). It took AMD upstaging them a few years back to get them to actually do something better/new for PCs (while they engaged in deceptive practices/lies until the new Core CPUs were ready), they still can't even touch nVidia/AMD in the graphics market and Atom CPUs are mostly only in some of the lower-end mobile devices.

Well said KillerBug. Intel holding back regarding AMD's future successes is totally true and typically indicative of a "business strategy"

The biggest trick the Devil did was to make people believe he didn't exist.

I certainly won't argue that they are evil...but AMD can't touch the i5 at the same price, and the i7 dominates the best AMD server processors. AMD can't even make a workstation processor with hardware AES...and the f**king i3 can do that!
Plus, AMD doesn't have a good mobile chip either.
