I just could not believe what I was watching and was at a loss of words. Intel, the world's greatest chip maker, spent both of their CES presentations showing off gimmicky gadgets that had absolutely nothing to do with their core business. I've never seen a company actively try to kill their main source of revenue. It is as if some Intel execs walked through a street in Hong Kong and said, "these gadgets are cool!". Are "smart" headphones and an augmented reality app really the answer? What is happening to Intel? The difference between the Intel and Nvidia presentations, both mobile focused, is night and day.
This is what an analyst said about the presentation:

I still don't understand how Intel expects to be more profitable by selling tons of dirt cheap Quarks. The volume they would have to ship would be enormous. What is stopping a company like Mediatek from undercutting them?

I was a little disappointed because a lot of things Intel showed are things Qualcomm has been showing for years.
He added, It was unusual as a presentation for intel because they talked so little about technology. Im not sure this is the future of the PC.
