Lost out? I'd say they are down a field goal early in the first
quarter in mobile. This is going to be a VERY long game and no
one has a deeper or more talented team.


I agree. It's amazing how shortsighted some can be.

I remember when Intel "lost out" to the Z80...

Where is Zilog now?

"Lost out" is past tense by the way. I think having 0.6% mobile
market share counts as having "lost out". The context of the
discussion was Otellini's past tenure and its influence on the
stock price.

Now, going forward ... it remains to be seen how successful Intel
can be against very well capitalized competitors that may not be
just component suppliers like Qualcomm but vertically integrated
companies like Samsung and Apple that add value beyond just
having a kick-ass microprocessor.
