With AMD set to introduce its most competitive products yet in two industries very important to Intel — laptops and HEDT — AMD’s momentum is snowballing, and Intel’s announcements at CES haven’t helped slow it down.But little of that materialized in Intel’s press conference.New form factors like foldable notebooks are intriguing, and it’s always good to hear about new Athena certified laptops that can offer exceptional battery life and instant-on performance. Its data center group (DCG) also put up strong performance with $6.99 billion in revenue, a whopping 42.7% YoY increase, and its storage and memory arm (NSG) jumped 46% to $1.38 billion. Intel raked in $5.7 billion in Q1 profit, a whopping 42% year-over-year increase propelled by a 23% quarterly revenue increase to $19.3B. enhancements are important too, but these are all areas where Intel has continued to excel. But it could be the only one, and it barely made an appearance at CES.
The lack of anything monumental at CES makes it feel as if it doesn’t have one.Intel’s comeback press-conference was a damp squib in comparison.But just a couple of hours later, Intel delivered its tepid response. Given that Intel claims its silicon runs 95% of the world's internet communications and governmental infrastructure, we'd expect the massive societal shift to benefit the chipmaker, at least in the short term.In spite of the looming challenges, Intel CEO Bob Swan struck a note of resolve as he cited a famous quote from former CEO Andy Grove, "Bad companies are destroyed by crises; good companies survive them; great companies are improved by them.
With nothing much else to excite outside of niche technologies and some limited promises for new tech later this year, 2020 is not off to a slow start for team blue. Intel says it has already seen declines in its IOTG, industrial, retail and automotive segments and expects some of the initial quarantine-spurred demand to cool in the second half, with a global recession impacting PC sales along with enterprise and government segments.For the quarter, Intel's PC business (CCG) notched $9.8 billion in revenue, a 14% YoY increase. Its new CPUs were merely teased, its new GPU shown in a whistlestop demonstration with no detail, and no news of next-gen desktop hardware.
Intel released its quarterly earnings today with an unexpected bit of good news for the chipmaker: It plans to release its 10nm+ Tiger Lake chips in the middle of 2020. Tellingly, Intel cited that its Tiger Lake roster of designs is already 40% larger than its previous-gen Ice Lake platform at the same point in the rollout. When AMD challenged Intel with its advancements in desktop, mobile, HEDT, and graphics, Intel didn’t give much of a response. Intel internships offer students a chance to get real-world experience with ownership of projects from day one.
In fact, that's one of the few certainties as a large portion of the global population remains sequestered and adjusts to the realities of remote work during an unprecedented pandemic. Managers at Intel encourage students to take the initiative and develop programs that meet their particular interests. All rights reserved.2019 was supposed to be a monumental year for Intel.

Intel also said its 10nm Ice Lake server chips are already sampling and remain on track for release in the second half of 2020.The company did share Q2 guidance, projecting that PCs will be flat to slightly up while data center will enjoy a 35% YoY increase in the quarter. Intel's PC sales also registered a 15% uptick, largely driven by a 13% YoY increase in notebook sales. But the company said its operating profit margins will fall. "However, amid these uncertain times, another certainty remains: Forward progress is paramount.
“It was an excellent quarter, well above our expectations on the continued strong demand for computing performance to support cloud-delivered services, a work- and learn-at-home environment, and the build-out of 5G networks,” said Bob Swan, Intel CEO. Intel and AMD have been competing forever, but AMD has been making great strides in the last few years and may surpass Intel in almost every industry in 2020. It was going to be the year Intel finally moved to its 10nm architecture after years of delays, starting first with its Ice Lake mobile processors. Gross margins also came in unexpectedly high at 62%. Intel achieved record second-quarter revenues with 34% data-centric revenue growth and 7% PC-centric revenue growth on year.

Intel now expects annual revenue of $75 billion for all of 2020, up 4% from 2019. Intel guided for $18.5B in the second quarter, beating expectations of $17.79B.According to the company's first-quarter 2020 financial results, the pandemic did just that. A.I. But with supply problems for both 10nm and 14nm parts, and no sign of anything resembling 10nm on desktop, Intel seemed behind the curve at every turn. Intel expects the notebook momentum to carry over into the next quarter, too.The world truly needs silicon more now than ever. For Intel, as with any other semiconductor manufacturer, that means moving down to the next, smaller process node.Get instant access to breaking news, in-depth reviews and helpful tips.Thank you for signing up to Tom's Hardware.
