Death knell for the Wintel PC

“The breathlessly exciting, seemingly endless stream of announcements from the Consumer Electronics Show in January, detailing the latest in 3D TVs, me-too tablets and televisions that will run apps, may have caused you to miss the most significant development of all: the death of the Wintel PC,” Kenny Hemphill writes for MacUser.

“The irony for Mac users is that in a few years’ time Macs could still be using Intel processors, while PCs will be using chips designed by ARM, a company co-founded by Apple,” Hemphill writes.

MacDailyNews Take: Don’t bet on that, Kenny. In a few years time, many Windows PCs will still be using Intel processors in a few years time.
