New Intel CEO Brian Krzanich took the stage at IDF 2013 to talk about Intel's future and the PC market. The CEO believes that there is more innovation in the PC than ever before as the company introduces new Haswell and Broadwell chips, new form factors are being experimented with, and Intel moves from traditional CPU to SoC type of architectures.
Two such chips that Intel showed off that are aimed at consumer PCs include a new Haswell-Y chip and the launch of a 14nm Broadwell SoC.
Haswell Y is an ultra low power variant of the Haswell processors that have been avaialble in desktops since June. This new chip is a 4.5W TDP chip that will enable fanless mobile devices such as laptops and slate tablets. The x86-64 chip will allow fanless mobiles that run Windows and should be a good bit more powerful than current Atom-powered Windows mobiles!

In addition to Haswell Y, Intel is introducing a 14nm Broadwell SoC. The Broadwell chips will be used in both servers and consumer products in 2014.

Interestingly, it looks like Intel is well on its way to shipping chips as Intel showed off a working laptop with the Broadwell chip at IDF today. Further, Intel announced that the Broadwell chips will be shipping by the end of the year!

It`s all coming true…goodbye ARM.

Intel’s pricing will keep the ARM folks in business for many years! OEMs have been burned by the chip pimps at Intel over the years, and I am sure the mobile devices OEMs would rather stick with ARM holdings for their bread and butter devices for the majority of their SKUs, and maybe try Intel in their high end/high cost products! Apple, for sure will be using The ARM instruction set, and Apple’s in house CPU design team, to Keep Intel outside in their mobile SKUs, and in the future keep Intel outside of their bottom tier macbooks also!
