Intel’s struggles in Mobile World
Oct 16th, 2012 by asfvinpugunisparam
Recently Intel has announced its third-quarterly earnings and has managed to produce revenue that is more than what is predicted by most analysts. However, the revenue generated is still 14 per cent less than what they earned in the same quarter the previous year. The rapid decline in the revenue shows that there is major decrease in the usage of Intel powered desktops. The reason for that is because consumers have changed their preference to mobile electronics such as smartphones and tablets compared to desktops. The lack of grip in tablets and smartphones market by Intel has made it worse for its sales. The shift in the preference of the consumers also shows how the technology has transcended. The desktop used to dominate other devices when it was first created but now has there are new technologies ( i.e. smartphones and tablets), the world is moving towards it.
It is predicted that in the next year, the sales for tablets will double and half of it will be Ipads. The market for tablets and smartphones are ever increasing and Intel must start to have a grip in the mobile electronics market to ensure that its sales does not continuously decrease.
