PC focus blinded giant Intel in race to make cheaper chips

Not only is Intel late to this party; also, no one wants to
dance with it. Most makers of hand-held computers or digital
telephones have shunned Intel microprocessors because they
are at least several times more expensive than competitors'
comparable chips. Chips from NEC Corp. Corp. and LSI Logic Inc.
run the world's two most popular video-game players. The most
glaring example of Intel's plight is the all-out bidding to
supply chips for Tele-Communications Inc.'s order for five
million digital set-top boxes, aimed at launching the age of interactive television.

"They are behind in designing products specifically for the
cable set-top market," says David Robinson, a vice president
at General Instrument Inc., which is making the boxes for TCI.
One cable official is more succinct: "Intel is running dead last."
