Intel's big threat comes from ARM

According to iSuppli, the company developing ARM processor will account for 20% market share of small-sized laptops within 4 years.

ARM's remarkable growth is attributed to Microsoft's support on the Windows 8 platform. In the past, PC operating systems used only Intel chips. However, the Microsoft alliance - Intel recently had a split when the software giant announced it would support ARM power-saving chips on its new platform.

Many netbook manufacturers such as Asus, Acer . will choose ARM chips due to their low cost, low power usage and processing speed comparable to their competitors.

The current market for netbooks is dominated by AMD's E Series chips and Intel Atom based x86 architecture. According to iSuppli, both companies will gradually lose market share to ARM.

" ARM processors are really suitable for netbooks, where speed is no longer a key factor for buyers to choose products. Customers tend to choose devices that have a balance between price and performance. to serve their purpose , "said Matthew Wilkins, iSuppli's senior official.

ARM is dominating the tablet and smartphone segments, while Intel and AMD have almost no outstanding products.

Intel has just announced a higher-than-expected business situation thanks to an 11% increase in global PC purchasing power. In the last quarter, this company has a total revenue of 13 billion USD with an interest rate of over 3 billion USD.
