Intel Corporation is likely to embrace a massive drop in terms of Google Inc.’s Android tablet sales that are powered via Intel chips in accordance with a report by Digitimes. As reported the company’s sales figures for the fiscal year of 2015, are likely to go down by 10.8 million units this annum. Earlier, 14.23 million units of tablets were sold in FY14. A downturn is now being experienced by the android tablet fraternity in general but CPU makers are destined to face a decline in terms of scale.
Apart from that, the Android smartphones that are powered by Intel process are targeted to supersede sales of 10 million units this annum. This news by the company comes after a long period where Intel is trying its best to break into the smartphone market that is currently under the strong dominance of company’s like Qualcomm and Samsung.
The company has spent a substantial amount of time to promote and market their mobile devices. A set back of around $4.2 billion was observed by Intel in the fiscal year of 2014 that eventually resulted in efforts that were relatively more focused and streamlined. The company restructured its strategy where it stopped depending on its laptop and personal computer business and also had to go through a massive round of layoffs.
Most of the analysts keeping a close watch on the company are aware of the fact that the company is governing a great chunk of its revenues from the personal computer sector. So after losing on this market, the company might have to experience another shortcoming. Windows 10 by Microsoft Corporation will soon hit the market this month along with the increasing demand for personal computers in the form of 2-in-1 Personal Computers but this will not help the company in bolstering revenues. However it is expecting the white box maker and equipment manufacturers to keep investing in the developing mobile devices this year
The previous year, Chipzilla mobile chip owned by Intel achieved a ranking of %55.9 billion in terms of revenues. This is said to be a 6 percent increase in the year 2013. So now this gives the company a slight edge to them in terms of mobile CPU production.
Hence Intel has several areas where they actually need to grow. Android tablet sales were a source of revenue for the company but a 4 percent decline in sales is extremely alarming and can further dent the integrity of the company.
