Intel (Nasdaq: INTC; Recent Price, 145)
For those betting against Intel chairman Andrew Grove's ability to maintain a near monopoly in the personal-computer wars, the annual PC Expo Last June brought little comfort. At the show, 12 PC makers showed off the new network computers, or NetPCs, al based on Intel microprocessors.
A competing network pc, called nc, still in development by SUNW and ORCL, poses little threat to Intel. Nor will intel be hurt be the efforts of AMD, and CYRX to power the new low-cost machines that use cheap Pentium clones. ALthough these chips outperform intels and cost at least 25percent less, intel has outflanked the duo by patenting an entirely new motherboard design. amd and cyrix will have to reconfigure their chips to fit the motherboard, then work on the chips themselves to match performance improvements built into intel's new chips.
These are only th emost recent examples of why intel's ability to outthink and outmarked its rivals, even more than its cutting edge technology and manufacturing, will keep it at the top in the chip wars. For instance, it was pure savv that enabled intel to triple the value of its technology inside the average pc over the pas 10 years. from $100 per machine to more than $300, accoding to instat market researches in scottsdale arizone. Intel does this by taking over functions that were formaly add-on features to a computer chio math coprocessors, for example, and putting them in the core chio set and motherboard provided by intel.
nor is intel satisfied; it's next genarations chips will provide superior sound, (good bye CREAF) and video compression (syanara CUBE). In the future genearations look for intel to speed up the internet access and graphics rich game playing by incorparating network adapters, BYE BYE COMS, data encryption, bye bye SECURITY DYNAMICS TECHNOLOGIES, internet modems, SO long USRX, and high speed network switches, wake up CSCO!!!
BLah blah blah, The stock is a terrific long term buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
