“Intel Corp. executives may dismiss the notion of a “post-PC
era,” but in their six-hour briefing yesterday with New York
financial analysts, their focus was sharply trained on e-business
growth areas far beyond the PC market.”
“Intel Chairman Andy Grove repeated his latest corporate mantra
that “the Internet runs on Silicon” and said Intel must “follow the
bits” wherever they take the $30 billion semiconductor giant. “We
are in the midst of a fairly sizable strategic transformation,” he
said.”
“The trend toward Internet computing and increasing use of
non-PC devices is driving Intel to figure out ways to slip its
silicon into everything from cell phone chip sets and Internet
appliances to networking and communications products, flash memory,
wireless and mobile devices, handheld computers and its traditional
range of PC and server platforms.”
