Intel involves in media market? Hmm...

The confusing part is the service is offered via set-top box, instead of via OTT platform, competing directly with current cable service provider.

Intel to launch online TV service this year

SAN FRANCISCO — Intel plans to launch an online service this year that will stream live television as well as provide content on demand, confirming reports that the world’s top chipmaker is getting into the media market.

Intel is negotiating deals with content providers, Mr Erik Huggers, Vice-President and General Manager of Intel Media, said yesterday.

The mess still around after 5 years... Tongue

Lehman sues Intel over S$1.23b in seized collateral

NEW YORK — Bankrupt investment bank Lehman Brothers has sued Intel Corp, accusing the chip maker of seizing US$1 billion (S$1.23 billion) in collateral in breach of a swap agreement, a court filing showed.

Under the swap agreement, executed days before Lehman filed for bankruptcy in 2008, Intel gave US$1 billion to a derivatives unit of Lehman Brothers in exchange for 50.5 million Intel shares, to be delivered on the settlement date of September 29, 2008, according to the filing made in a New York bankruptcy court.

Intel expects no revenue growth in 2014

17 January 2014

The world's biggest computer chip maker, Intel, has said it expects no revenue growth in 2014, sending its shares down 5% in after hours-trading.

The weak forecast comes as chip makers continue to be hurt by a drop in sales of personal computers (PCs).

Revenues at Intel's division which makes chips for desktop computers fell 4% in 2013, from a year ago.

However, the company said there had been signs in the past few months that the PC sector was "stabilising".

According to its latest earnings, the PC chip division generated revenues of $8.6bn (£5.2bn) in the October-to-December quarter of 2013, compared with $8.5bn a year ago.

"We had a solid fourth quarter with signs of stabilisation in the PC segment and financial growth from a year ago," said Intel chief executive Brian Krzanich.

For the full year 2013, the firm reported a net profit of $9.6bn, down 13% from a year ago.

'Disappointed again'

Sales of PCs have fallen for six quarters in a row, hurt by the growing popularity of tablets and smartphones.

As a result, computer chip makers have been looking to boost growth in other divisions and areas to try and sustain their growth.

In case of Intel, analysts have been focussing on the performance of its data centre business.

Intel said the division's revenues rose 8% in the last quarter of 2013, from a year earlier. However, the rise was less than what some analysts had expected.

"The incremental nugget we got from fourth quarter earnings was that data centre group disappointed again," said Patrick Wang an analyst with advisory firm Evercore. He said investors were anticipating a healthy performance from the division.

Intel's chief financial officer, Stacy Smith, said the division's revenues in 2014 would probably come in toward the bottom of the previous estimate of 10% to 15% growth.

'Bringing innovation'

Intel has also taken other steps to create new growth areas and offset the impact of slowing PC sales on its business.

At the recently held Consumer Electronics Show (CES), in Las Vegas, the firm showcased various new technologies.

That included a 3D-camera technology, where one of its depth sensors could be used to interpret gesture controls and to separate foreground objects from the background.

It said laptops featuring the technology would go on sale this year.

The company also unveiled a series of new concept wearable technologies - seen by many as a key growth area in the coming years.

The products showcased included Smart earbuds -which act as an activity tracker as well as play music and a smartwatch hat can connect to the internet without needing to be linked to a phone.

"We've built a strong foundation for our business by bringing innovation to the market more quickly across a wide range of computing platforms," said Mr Krzanich.

"At [the] CES, we demonstrated multiple devices that weren't on our roadmap six months ago."
