Intel discontinues Joule, Galileo, and Edison product lines
I&#x27;m calling it, Intel is going to be a shadow of it&#x27;s former self in 5 years. They have had tremendous issues competing in almost anything outside of x86 processors over their entire lifespan. They consistently get outmanuevered in gpus, ssds, low power socs, machine learning, et cetera. The x86 platform that they currently own, is mostly due to intertia and fab facility advantages.<p>AMD, was able to launch a pretty competitive CPU despite massive delays because Intel has barely improved the ipc of their processors over the last 5 years.<p>Meanwhile Apple is betting on iPads being the future computer of the Everyman and they make their own chips. Microsoft recently acknowledged that windows basically has to run on arm for the future proofing of their platform. I guarantee you start seeing more arm based windows computers soon.<p>Intel recently told everyone they&#x27;re willing to sue for patent money, the last desperate act.<p>Intel better have a leapfrog cpu in the pipeline or it&#x27;s over.
