Analyst ben thompson talks about all current intel issues

Analyst Ben Thompson has warned that Intel's insistence on x86 integration is causing major problems for the company. A few words that do not go unnoticed coming from a renowned analyst in the world of technology.

Ben Thompson says integration is the source of all current Intel problems

Ben Thompson says the decline in PC sales has made Intel more dependent on chip sales to data centers, because it had no presence on mobile devices, the other major growth area in the industry. Ben has also spoken about Intel's 10nm manufacturing process, suggesting that Samsung or Global Foundries' 7nm processes are not necessarily better, Intel's real problem is that these are indeed ready, while their 10 nm build up problem after problem. Intel is behind in this sector, and its insistence on integration is largely to blame for that.

The integration was probably also responsible for Intel's failure on mobile devices. The company figured it could take advantage of its advanced manufacturing processes to create an x86 chip more efficient than ARMs, something that has not finally happened.

Intel also took the wrong approach for its general-purpose processors, primarily graphics. We're talking about the Larrabee architecture, an x86-based graphics chip that was based on leveraging Intel's integration, rather than meeting a market need. Faced with the failure of the project, Intel was left with graphics that were barely enough for everyday tasks that did not require a great deal of graphics processing power.

The latest headache for Intel has been AMD, a company that is innovating with its Ryzen processors, while Intel is still selling variations of Skylake, a design from three years ago.
