In-Stat Publishes Report on Intel

Posted by EDA Geek News Staff in Research on Sunday, January 13, 2008

Intel has gone through dramatic changes since the beginning of 2006, including hiring a new CEO in Paul Otellini, reports In-Stat. Other major changes include significant cost cutting resulting from increased competition in microprocessors from AMD, a completely new product line-up, and new product strategies to enable expansion of the x86 architecture into new market segments such as discrete graphics, consumer electronics, and ultra mobile devices (UMDs), the high-tech market research firm says.

“Despite the challenges, Intel remains in a good position to transition with the market and remain a driver in the direction of technology, if it can remain competitive in these new markets,” says Jim McGregor, In-Stat analyst.

Recent research by In-Stat found the following:

  • Intel’s LPIA microprocessors are the keys to both Intel’s future microprocessors and consumer SoC solutions.
  • The first product in the Larrabee product family, which is targeting graphics, will bring together a new high-speed on-chip interconnect, LPIA processor core(s), graphics cores(s) and die stacking for cache memory, a first from Intel.
  • Although Intel has changed its memory strategy to focus on NAND, In-Stat believes that Intel will likely exit the discrete Flash market within a few years because of difficultly making a positive ROI.

The research, “A New Intel: A Review of Intel’s Key Strategies” (#IN0703815IN), covers Intel’s market strategy and performance. It provides in-depth analysis of Intel’s product lines, manufacturing, and marketing. In addition to the report, Jim and other In-Stat analysts provide consulting services on a variety of technical and market topics regarding the semiconductor and electronics industries.

The price is $1,995 (US).
