Three experts said Intel will be stripped of flash memory and communications chip business

According to foreign media reports, Monday, often coming in IT elite of California "Churchill club" activities, analysts more famous three American high-tech industry said that in the current business restructuring, the global microprocessor giant Intel may be stripped of serious loss of communication chip and NOR flash memory business.

The three analysts are Mark Edelston, Jo Ay and Dan Niels. Three people expressed their views on Monday's Churchill club event.

According to the analysis, Intel's past appetite is too large, resulting in a passive situation in some business today. From January 1999 to 2002, the company spent $eleven billion acquisition of thirty-five companies. In after a short break, Intel also launched a takeover.

In some areas, Intel has achieved success through acquisitions. The most obvious is the wireless network chip, through strategic Centrino platform for success, the company has pulled the influence by means of microprocessor chip wireless network. However, in terms of mobile phone chips, Intel has always failed to pose any threat to rival TI. For a long time, the company's Communications Group has lost millions of dollars a quarter, but after the merger with the flash memory business, communications group's financial indicators have become "good-looking" some.

Some people from the beginning doubt whether Intel can copy in other areas of its success in the field of microprocessors.

In 1999, Steve Tobak, vice president of marketing at the national semiconductor company, said: "being the leader of the world's computer processors is the end result of Intel. However, in other areas of the situation is completely different, Intel will be full of doubt, such as network chips are not in their bones."

As in the past, Intel rarely comment on speculation and analysis. Currently, the company is undergoing a large-scale restructuring, the introduction of new processor products and chip architecture, to prevent AMD once again eroded its market share.

Previously, some analysts have said that Intel may first stripping business is the business of the company's production of flash, mainstream NOR flash has not the market, in addition to last year, Intel has established a micron technology and production of NAND flash company.

Media analysts believe that Intel in the past have been stripped of some of the poor performance of the business, but from the current point of view, there are several communication chip performance is quite satisfactory, so the communication or flash memory business remains to be seen whether stripping.
