Intel Yang Sy: China will become the world's largest PC consumer market next year

Tablet PC impact on the traditional PC seems to have become the consensus of the market, Gartner recently lowered the 2011 global PC market growth expectations, also attributed the impact of the tablet. This point of view, Intel China President Yang Xu recently in an interview with Southern Reporter stressed that this judgment is currently no data support, just an intuitive judgment, and can not explain the problem. "From the first quarter data announced by Intel, the growth of the computer industry is very healthy."

Yang Syue is full of confidence in the Chinese PC market, saying that in 2012 China will become Intel’s largest single PC consumer market in the world.

The PC industry will enter the period of steady growth. Tablet PCs and smart phones will be popular, and the traditional PC industry will face considerable challenges. Even more extreme views say that PC is dead. To this pessimistic view, Yang Sy was not taken for granted. Yang Xu said that in a specific period of time, the PC industry will be affected by macroeconomic reasons. In the absence of a full understanding of this factor, it is said that because there are too many Apple tablet computers, consumers do not buy other computers. Products, this is just an intuitive judgment, it is necessary to further analyze the specific data in order to explain the problem.

Yang Syrian pointed out that when emerging industries are just emerging, the development will be very fast and will receive high attention. However, soon after homogenization becomes more and more serious, profit margins will begin to thin, and then market consolidation will occur. Eventually entering a period of stable growth, this is the law of industrial development. “The computer industry is in the integration period, and various kinds of integration are happening continuously. Once the integration is completed, the market will enter a period of stable growth and the scale will become very large.”

Ultrabook will redefine the PC

The emergence of tablets is a manifestation of continuous innovation in the PC industry. In Yang Syrian's view, the iPad is a truly experience-based device with strong visual impact and application focus. However, Yang Sy also pointed out that the only regret for the iPad lies in the office. It can do simple work, but when it comes to complicated work, it is somewhat incompetent.

It is to see this defect, Intel and Asustek joined forces to launch a new generation of PC products - Ultrabook. It is reported that Ultrabook will be officially released and will challenge the iPad. It is reported that Ultrabook integrates the functions of notebooks and tablet PCs, and can be converted under different use environments. That is, it has the advantages of tablet PCs such as portability and control, and also takes into account the performance of notebooks.

"Ultrabook defines the PC again. Ultrabook is a product that integrates traditional notebooks and tablet computers." Yang Syria said that Ultrabook is not meant to replace tablet computers. Diversification is the direction. Which one to use? This kind of product is determined by the user's needs.
