Intel is the world’s largest chip maker, holding more than 80 percent of the global market. The company has done well in its traditional PC and server markets, having several consecutive quarters of record profits and revenues. Still, the company has not yet been able to gain traction in the mobile-device space, which is expected to grow rapidly over the next few years. Gartner earlier this year forecast tablet sales would grow to 294 million in 2015. At the same time, market research firm In-Stat is predicting sales of 850 million smartphones in 2015.
