Haswell Redefines PC Future (And Saves Intel) Says Commentator

Seeking Alpha contributor Alex Jordan says that amidst reports that chip-making giant Intel is out-of-step with a computing world shifting to mobile devices, its Haswell family of fourth-generation Core processors arrives. Jordan contends that the new low-power chips not only ensure a brighter future for Intel, but may redefine the future of PC computing.

How so?

Jordan observes that Intel’s Haswell chip operates with a scenario design power (SDP) as low as 4.5 watts, which offers the following benefits in a PC environment:

– Fanless 2-in-1 computing devices, which will deliver “the best of a notebook and a tablet in amazing new form factors.”
– The first fanless 2-in-1 and tablet designs based on core processors.
– Thinner and lighter devices across a range of form factors.
– Fanless tablets that are as thin and light as the iPad, but with PC-like performance, could revolutionize the entire 10″ tablet ecosystem over the next year.

Ergo, he says, Haswell might just drive a PC renaissance, putting Intel back in front, enabling devices that fit better, weigh less, use less power, and run longer on battery make PCs more attractive for business and the general public, and deliver most of the advantages gained by switching to mobile devices in full-featured laptops.
