Indeed, it appears that the company is finding it difficult to
match the growth in sales of microprocessors and flash memory
chips. This has given its main rival Advanced Micro Devices the
opportunity to increase its profile on the market, but Intel
maintains that it will recoup any lost business by the end of the
year.
Intel is currently developing the Itanium chip for use in large
corporate systems, which it hopes will take off later this year. It
is also attempting to broaden its products by entering into network
equipment and internet software supply, in addition to its role in
producing chips for the mobile phone industry.
