Intel is coming, Intel is coming - hide the women and children <g> semibiznews.com The shift in PC pricing models has changed Intel's unwillingness to move into lower-margin x86 applications. The Santa Clara chip giant is not ruling out any market segment, said Carl Larson, marketing manager for Intel's microprocessor division, based in Hillsboro, Ore. That could even include integrated x86 cores with other functional blocks to address consumer and entertainment markets, he added. That would be bad news indeed for those x86 suppliers that have built their MPU strategy on avoiding Intel. "What worries me is what Intel does next," admitted Tony Taylor, product marketing manager for x86-based STPC systems-on-chip products from STMicroelectronics in St. Genis, France. For more than a year, ST (formerly SGS-Thomson) has marketed single-chip PCs for a range of applications. It has been using a souped up 486 core originally developed by Cyrix Corp. of Richardson, Tex., before that company was acquired by National Semiconductor Corp. in Santa Clara. ---- No surprise here! Knew that to be successful they had to copy LSI's long term market strategy eventually. Heh heh... LSI is smart for not using x86 cores... <gggg> Let IDTI have fun by themselves competing with Mr. Intel. <ggg> ---- Shane (what it all boils down to is that it is tough to compete with well greased (oiled?) manufacturing processes and very high yields)
