TECHi's Take
Perhaps this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, given that sales of personal computers have in recent quarters collapsed to levels not seen since records have been kept. But the latest look at the state of the personal computer market doesn’t appear to bode well for the industry’s biggest supplier of microprocessors, Intel.
