Abstract
In late 2008 to early 2009, notebook PC unit shipments will surpass those of
desktop PCs for the first time in history, Does this mean that the desktop
market is now in decline? And, are notebook PCs and other mobile form factors
beginning a rapid ascension to dominating the PC market? These are just some
of the crucial questions answered in this in-depth report that will drive R&D
efforts as well as future fab capacities and the profitability of the world' s
largest semiconductor maker, Intel, and its smaller rival, AMD.
In-Stat also explores some significant industry and market trends and analyzes
their respective effects on the PC microprocessor marketplace, e.g., the US
and global economy, form factor shifts, evolving usage models, and software
distribution channels, In-Stat also reveals how Generation "M" (those born in
1992 or later) will drive the adoption of ultra-mobile devices (UMDs), to
obtain the "true" Web experience anywhere and anytime, Additionally, In-Stat
explains why high-def is not the last-def and that the next-def will likely
have a profound impact on microprocessor performance requirements in the
future.
Finally, In-Stat examines, in detail, the strategies, products, roadmaps, fab
capacities, and branding issues for both Intel and AMD, All of this leads up
to In-Stat' s forecast, which is broken out by PC form factor and covers both
historical data from 2003 to 2007 and the forecast out to 2012.
