Intel thinks PCs will come back

The PC will make a comeback, but the so-called Tablet revolution is history, according to the Chipmaker who missed out on it.

Kirk Skaugen, GM of Intel's client computing group told the Intel Global Capital Summit that there are more than a billion PCs that are more than three years old and a third of a billion that are over five years old. People are coming back to the PC and refreshing their systems.

It used to be that people upgraded every two years or so, but in the last five years silicon has got so powerful that no one saw the need. The problem is that they still don’t and Skaugen hopes that two-in-one detachable-screen systems, will be a major growth driver.
