Intel abandons its PC model

You're all left in the lurch

But we knew that, didn't we?

Tiny chip company Intel confirmed it's getting out of X86 PCs – apart from Xeons – and into other things (IOT) - get it?

Reporting its first quarter sales, Intel remained bullish.

As long as I've covered Intel, it's been a bullish firm, ever when it's screwed up – and it has, many a time. I think the McAfee acquisition was really something that Andy Grove would have made him turn in his grave. I met Andy Grove a couple of times – he was a very straightforward kind of a guy and didn't mind difficult questions.

He was a bit paranoid about the semiconductor business, though. And who can blame him?

Intel isn't short of a penny or two, that's for sure – but many questions remain about Chipzilla's future. It seems to have very few new ideas.
