I agree. Still think it is near the bottom. I believe yesterday's decline was associated with Windows 10 info:

PC industry stocks slide as Intel tempers Windows 10 expectations

FBR's Chris Rolland, after talking with Intel (INTC -1.2%) IR chief Gary Willihganz: "While excess PC inventory dynamics were well known exiting 2014, we believe many investors did not expect additional PC inventory drain into the Win10 release. Intel was careful to explain these nuanced inventory dynamics, which we believe may have also been a contributor to the weaker-than-expected ODM shipments witnessed in April."Rolland adds that while Intel "expects inventory replenishment in 2H15 around the Win10 release, it was careful to temper expectations for a surged uptick in demand." A Q1 CC remark from AMD CEO Lisa Su suggested Windows 10 (NASDAQ:MSFT), whose Start menu and enterprise-friendly features could help boost industry demand, will launch in late July.

Also: Morgan Stanley says it's cautious on PC names in the near-term (moreso on chipmakers than other firms) given soft Q2 PC/hard drive inventory builds and weak April sales from ODMs. It sees normal seasonal growth following a rough Q1, and doesn't expect a recovery occurring before Q3.Micron (MU -2.1%), Seagate (STX -3.3%), and Western Digital (WDC -1.5%) are lower on a day the Nasdaq is near breakeven. Micron, which is close to its 52-week low, fell on Friday after Nomura cut estimates on PC DRAM pricing fears. Microsoft is down 0.7% after factoring its dividend payment (shares are trading ex-dividend today).
