Intel's Comment on Competitors and Industry Peers
The computing industry continuously evolves with new and enhanced technologies
and products from existing and new providers. The markets for current and planned
technologies can change quickly in response to the introduction of such technologies
and products and other factors such as changes in consumer tastes.
Intel faces significant competition in the development and market acceptance of
technologies and products in this environment. Our platforms, based on Intel architecture,
are positioned to compete across the spectrum of Internet-connected computing
devices, from the lowest-power portable devices to the most powerful data center
servers.
We are a leading provider in the PC and server segments, where we face existing
and emerging competition. In the PC segment, smaller mobile devices, such as
tablets and smartphones, offered by numerous vendors have become significant
competitors to PCs for many usages. Most of these small devices currently use
applications processors based on the ARM* architecture; feature low-power, long
battery-life operation; and are built in SoC formats which integrate numerous
functions on one chip. In the server segment, our data center products and platforms
face emerging competition from many new entrants using ARM architecture or other
technologies.
We are a relatively new entrant to the segments for tablets, smartphones and
similar mobile devices. We have adjusted our product roadmaps to emphasize the
development of low-power SoC chips for these and other devices. The boundaries
between the various segments are changing as the industry evolves and new segments
emerge.
We have a long-standing position as a supplier of components and software for
embedded products and this marketplace is significantly expanding with increasing
types and numbers of Internet-connected devices for industrial, commercial and
consumer uses, which we refer to as the Internet of Things. We face numerous
large and small incumbent competitors as well as new entrants in this growing
market segment that use ARM architecture as well as other operating systems
and software.
Our products primarily compete based on performance, energy efficiency, integration,
innovative design, features, price, quality, reliability, brand recognition
and availability. The importance of these items will vary by the type of end
system for the products. For example, performance might be among the most important
factors for our products for servers, while price and integration might be among
the most important factors for our products for tablets and smartphones.
We are the owner of McAfee, a major provider of digital security products and
services to businesses and consumers. There are numerous competitors offering
security products and services, and we seek to offer competitive differentiation
by integrating hardware and software security features in many of our offerings
and to have security offerings in numerous market segments including mobile
and embedded devices and for data centers.
The ability of our products to operate on multiple operating systems in end-user
products and platforms operated or sold by third parties, including OEMs, is
a key competitive advantage. We seek to optimize our products for multiple operating
systems and invest substantial resources working with third parties to do so,
but such investments are risky given that it is not clear which products will
succeed in the market.
We have competitors in each of the market segments including other companies
that make and sell microprocessors, SoCs, other silicon components, software
and platforms to businesses which build and sell computing and communications
devices to end-users. We also compete against others selling these goods and
services to businesses that utilize the products for their internal processes
(e.g., businesses running large data centers). We also face competition from
OEMs that, to some degree, choose to vertically integrate their own proprietary
semiconductor and software assets. By doing so, these OEMs may be attempting
to offer greater differentiation in their products and to increase their share
of the profits for each finished product they sell.
Continuing changes in the industry such as acquisitions, business collaborations
or licensing scenarios (such as injunctions or other litigation outcomes), could
have a significant impact on our competitive position.
One of our important competitive advantages is the combination of our network
of manufacturing, assembly and test facilities with our global architecture
design teams. We have made significant capital and research and development
(R&D) investments into this integrated manufacturing network, which enables
us to have more direct control over our processes, quality control, product
cost, production timing, performance, power consumption, and manufacturing yield.
The increased cost of constructing new fabrication facilities supporting smaller
transistor geometries and larger wafers has led to a smaller pool of companies
that can afford to build and equip leading-edge manufacturing facilities. Most
of our competitors rely on third-party foundries and subcontractors such as
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd. and GlobalFoundries Inc. for
manufacturing and assembly and test needs. We have recently started providing
foundry services as an alternative to such foundries.
