=====================

Given that Bay Trail is doing extremely well (per Pidnoel's tweets and popularity of recent Asus/Dell products), it seems like Intel can reclaim the lower-end PC market which was lost to tablets.

If they get Bay Trail PC volumes to half of the size of netbooks (which was 60-70 million units at one point if I remember right) the 30 million Bay Trail plus the 40 million tablets should add something to the bottom line.

Of course, I am assuming that the Core-based laptops remain about the same.

Also, I suspect there will be some revenue growth from the foundry business.

Are these guys sandbagging at least a little bit - perhaps a $1 billion or two? Guess that's only a 2-4% growth, not worth projecting at this early stage.

A good plan for the future is worth a lot as far as shares are concerned.

Personally speaking, it is not that bad at all. PC client group is the biggest revenue generator and if it is down 5-6% in 2014, it is being compensated by revenue increase in Data center and mobile.
But I guess, analysts will look at it as glass half empty.
