眾志成城？『PC失意陣線同盟』再應Intel集結。
穩住陣腳？絕招盡出，Intel銀彈如滿天花雨。

在手機領域，只有ZTE、Moto少數手機品牌商與Intel合作，縱使是Samsung，也僅在平板產品上採用Atom晶片。

不能敗的一戰，梭了！

降尊紆貴，繼Bay Trail平板大放送之後，Intel再祭低價戰術，優先鎖定昔日的PC盟友，無懼流血輸出，重金利誘，承諾給予手機晶片在價格、研發與行銷等各方面『優厚支援』，特別是rebate。

對手Mediatek退散，Atom晶片挾PC大廠將逆襲智慧機，Lenovo之後，Asus、HP的Intel Inside手機將第二波攻堅，『價格犀利』。估計尚有其它昔日PC王者陸續來歸。

褪去變形DNA、混搭外衣，Asus重返正smartphone的全新MEMOfone手機系列會大量採用22nm雙核Merrifield手機晶片（Intel在2H14將有面向中高端的22nm四核Moorefield晶片與委外針對低價的整合3G型SoFIA晶片），售價估將低於5000元，以中國、東南亞、巴西及俄羅斯等市場為主。

HP預計在近期內針對中國、印度等亞太地區推出兩款各為6吋、7吋，售價僅在200∼250美元間的大螢幕Android智慧機種，亦由Intel藉高額折讓再敗Mediatek而奪標，BYD在Slate 7平板後再度替HP代工。

In addition to R&D supports, Intel has also been rumored of giving preferential pricing to its partners and even supplying its chips for free to earn its partners' hearts.

值此PC衰退略緩之際，再傳TSMC雙獲PC與smartphone相關IC急單，顯示PC客戶端需求反彈，庫存補貨動作浮現，讓Intel有所緩頰。smartphone急單涵蓋基頻、無線連結、指紋辨識等IC，而TSMC稼動率也可望於本季反彈。

If today’s TSMC inputs reported in Digitimes prove accurate, that PC related pull-in orders are being seen as well as for smartphone modems, wireless networks and finger encryption, then 2014 is liable to prove a banner chip year. For Intel, in particular, a pickup in PC sales, even if relatively short-lived, would permit some boardroom breathing room as they conjure an ineffective mobile strategy and apparent capacity overhang.

Intel will probably report toward the upper end of its Q4 revenue outlook of $13.2 billion to $14.2 billion “due to upside seen in PC builds/shipments and data center demand,” in particular as enterprises prepare for the expiration of Windows XP support this Spring. Enterprise refresh could last “into the June quarter or longer.”

兄弟爬山，各自努力。Intel動作頻頻，Microsoft也沒敢閒著，聽說Windows Phone跟Windows RT打算免費奉送。智慧行動市場吃鱉的Wintel能因此大旱逢甘霖嗎？未來的智慧行動裝置，究竟會是Wintel、ARMdroid、InDroid、WinARM誰當領頭羊，這樂高積木的最佳組合頗費思量！
