Intel may Haswell not have bothered
Chip giant Intel is using the Computex show, here in Old Taipei, to launch its Haswell platform in a desperate attempt to continue having a bash at the old mobile and tablet market.
One question is why it has chosen the no-doubt very important show to launch Haswell and that’s one question still waiting for an answer.No doubt we’ll be given the opportunity to lightly grill the Intel execs about how it sees the future following the failure of its Ultrabook platform.
Having followed Intel closely since around – hey 1987 or so – we have noticed that while it does not re-write history, it prefers just wipe any memory of its large number of failures over the decades. Put against that, Intel has had a number of significant wins too, turning it into the Great Beast of microprocessors, and paving the way for the rise of a number of important developments on the hardware front.
