Intel expects a calm flat 2017
 

Trying to be Zen about it

Mega x86 chip outfit Intel is predicting a pretty flat 2017 after announcing mixed results for the last quarter of 2016.

Intel’s biggest cheese Brian Krzanich insisted that the last quarter for 2016 was a strong finish to a record year. But a lot of this was to do with Intel’s work in datacentres and clouds rather than its traditional PC base.

Next year AMD is expecting to be more competitive against Intel in 2017 with its new Zen processors for PCs, laptops, and servers. Microsoft is helping ARM based chip manufactures by issuing Windows 10 for them. This could mean that the days of x86 on the PC are ending.
