This article is about how Intel is having a tough time adjusting to the PC market being in a downturn. With people going more towards Tablets and smartphones, many PC companies ares seeing their profits diminish each year. Intel is the leading provider for chips for these companies and as the computer companies struggle they are losing their profits as well. Many companies are going away from them as well to have new companies make their products they need. Intel needs to make sure that they can get back into the market soon or else they will be as irrelevant as the CD industry.
This makes sense given the huge turn to portable technology like smartphones and tablets as opposed to desktops and laptops even. I think as the new technologies start to level out as we are what seems to be "running out of new things", I think that other companies like Intel will have time to catch up.
