Comment Intel is much more than processors... (Score 1) 244
People on /. seem to focus just on processors, but the reality is that Intel is much more than that. While AMD can't seem to make anything other than processors--they were losing so much money making flash memory that they had to spin off their flash business as Spansion--Intel is much more diversified with an eye to the future.
Intel's "digital health" group hasn't made a big splash yet, but with health care accounting for 15% of the U.S. GDP (and growing rapidly), there's clearly an enormous potential market for technology.
Also, Intel's Teach to the Future has already trained >3 million teachers on incorporating technology into their classrooms and lessons.
Intel is the main sponsor of the International Science and Engineering Fair.
They're doing cool research in silicon lasers.
They recently ponied up $2.5billion for NAND flash development and manufacturing.
They've invested >$4billion in ~1000 companies through their venture capital arm.
And lots more...
