Intel, with an estimated $40 billion in sales each year, is trying hard to establish new markets to replace the maturing PC platform. After dipping in all things embedded, mobile and wireless several times in the past and then withdrawing, now the company is trying again, investing hundreds of millions of dollars in processors, operating systems, and boards, and in the creation of an infrastructure of independent suppliers of hardware and software.
Despite its deep financial pockets, Intel’s tardy efforts may be no more than David’s slingshot against the sword and armor of the Goliath ARM has become.
