Will be transferred to the smart phone tablet, Intel PC as a tasteless

December 17 news, according to foreign media reports, the current desktop personal computer has gradually become Intel's IT giant in the eyes of the "tasteless", at least Intel has removed it from the list of priority development targets.

Some analysts pointed out that desktop personal computers will at least "survive" until around 2016, but it is not the focus of Intel's consideration now. For a long time, most of the world's personal computer processors have come from Intel's production line. For Intel, developing the right processor for smartphones and tablets is a top priority.

The U.S. Goldman Sachs Group recently released a 75-page investigation report, which states in its report: "We believe that Intel's strategic shift in the focus of business development from personal computers to smartphones and tablets will have a certain impact on companies. "The negative impact." For Intel has done a lot of technology and product preparation in order to enter the mobile device market, in order to establish the status in the mobile market in the future, Intel has two magic weapons in hand - Broadwell processor and Bay Trail processor.

Recently, a personal computer dealer who knows about Intel's future processor R&D roadmap program said that the appearance of Broadwell processor is to promote Intel's continuous expansion in the mobile device processor market.

Intel plans to introduce the Broadwell processor in 2014. It also belongs to the Tick part of Intel's Tick-Tock development process. The Tick-Tock link is that Intel's mobile products follow the Tick-Tock model formed in the PC field, that is, each year in terms of products. , Every two years to update the manufacturing process.

The above computer dealers also pointed out that Intel will introduce PC-specific processor chips according to the usual practice, and most of them use the letter K suffix to name them, and this time the Broadwell processor does not meet this requirement. Convention.

However, does Intel's behavior mean that the PC is about to end? The author believes that the current answer is still negative, but the future of personal computers is not optimistic. Intel also plans to launch the Bay Trail processor in 2013. It is called Intel's most efficient processor chip ever. It has made it possible for tablets to have the same data processing performance as a laptop.

But the Bay Trail processor is Intel’s previously announced Atom processor (Intel’s Atom processor is the smallest and lowest power processor in Intel’s history. Atom is based on a new microprocessor architecture designed specifically for small devices. An upgraded version of the product designed to reduce the power consumption of the product is more energy efficient than the latter.

Facebook said this week that it is not interested in the current Atom processor, but expressed concern and curiosity about Atom's next-generation products.
