More speculation: As Laila is asked about AI laptops she seems to become quite relaxed and excited. Her “most excited” section in the short q&a.
Why didn’t she bother to mention upcoming Lenovo models as an example? But instead she started to discuss about the chipset providers, clearly focusing on Intel co-operation and quickly mentioning AMD and Qualcomm.
We know they hired a long-term executive from Intel earlier. That kind of top-level recruitment is done for establishing strategical co-operation. Was it like two years ago?
From The redeye webcast we also know how Intel team has been closely working with Elabs, likely for many OEM laptops they Will provide.
Just a suggestion, but they could be announcing something big together with Intel or other chipset providers in the CMD. Intel has been their focus for almost a decade, so that would be most likely option.
It could be big. So big that the financial targets will be updated.
Time will tell. Just throwing out this how i “emotionally sensed” Laila’s latest outcome.
Could be also the Seamless launch/2nd oem launch as discussed.
Intel plans on bringing its Lunar Lake chip to over 80 new laptop designs from over 20 laptop manufacturers, with the goal of shipping 40 million AI PC processors by the end of this year.
And for The ending: do you remember what Laila said about entering to consumer segment during H2?
We are entering with force.
