40 years into the chip making business, Intel sets its sights on a bright and shiny future!

The company hopes to see Intel chips being built into virtually every segment of computing. Intel’s CEO Paul Otellini, said the next four decades would be about making computers ubiquitous to the consumer’s every day life.

“We’re now focusing on how to take [Intel’s] architecture into new areas, bringing the benefits of that architecture we have built into new markets,” said Otellini. “Bringing the benefits of the internet into devices that don’t have it today. Bringing the benefits of computing and communications to billions of people that have no access to it today.

It’s expected that Intel will attempt to diversify into products such as smart phones and mp3 players…

“When we introduced the microprocessor no one could have predicted that the market for PCs would be greater than 350 million units a year.

“Over the next 40 years, Intel technology will be at the heart of breakthroughs that solve the big problems.”
