Next year, Intel and AMD will offer new solutions for tablet devices. In particular, Intel is preparing a platform Cherry Trail - a system-on-chip with topological 14 nm and a graphics system eighth generation. In the mass production of Cherry Trail will be transferred in March 2015, as Intel is preparing a line of processors Atom Z3000 with 64-bit instructions.
In turn, AMD will release x86-based solution, code-named Nolan, as well as processors Amur, based on computational cores ARM Cortex-A57. Last of the processors will support the operating systems Windows and Linux.
Industry sources believe that the expectation of new platforms and updated lineup of Apple products have a negative impact on sales of personal computers worldwide. In the second quarter, sales of laptops grew, but since mid-August figures began to decline. According to forecasts, in the fourth quarter demand for notebook PCs will be lower than expected, because many consumers prefer to spend the money to purchase the devices of Apple, but others will take a wait before starting the new processors.
