Intel held its first quarter earnings call for 2013 on Tuesday, and the Q&A with analysts afterwards was full of bold declarations about how cheap touch-enabled PCs and other Intel-loaded touchable gadgets were going to get.
Intel executives love to talk about how the next generation of PCs powered by Intel processors is going to be surprisingly cheap. And there?s no better time to throw around price predictions than after a round of dismal reports about the future of the PC.
The most interesting price prediction came from outgoing CEO Paul Otellini who said touch-enabled laptops could get as low as $200 by the holidays.
?If you look at touch-enabled Intel-based notebooks that are ultrathin and light using non-Core processors ?Those prices are going to be down to as low as $200, probably,? Otellini said. Otellini?s $200 price prediction followed earlier statements from both Otellini and Chief Financial Officer Stacy Smith claiming Bay Trail-powered devices would get into the $300 range. Bay Trail is Intel?s Atom system-on-a-chip that?s due later this year.
