Phone and Tablet Components
We offer components for smartphones, tablets, and connected devices which include baseband processors, radio
frequency transceivers, and power management integrated circuits. We also offer comprehensive smartphone and
tablet platforms, including multimode Long Term Evolution (LTE*) modems, Bluetooth® wireless technology and
Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, software solutions, customization, and essential interoperability tests.
Our mobile phone solutions, which are based on multiple industry standards, help enable mobile voice and high-
speed data communications for a broad range of devices around the world.
Non-Volatile Memory Solutions
We offer NAND flash memory products primarily used in solid-state drives. Our NAND flash memory products are
manufactured by IM Flash Technologies, LLC (IMFT). We also purchase NAND flash components from Micron
Technology, Inc. (Micron).
Intel Custom Foundry
We offer our silicon and manufacturing technology leadership as a service for our customers. Our foundry offerings
include semi-custom services (using Intel architecture and silicon with our customer's intellectual property) and fully
custom foundry services.
Products and Product Strategy by Operating Segment
Our PC Client Group operating segment offers products that are incorporated in notebook (including Ultrabook
devices and 2 in 1 systems) and desktop computers for consumers and businesses. In 2013, we introduced the 4th
generation Intel Core processor family for use in notebooks, desktops, 2 in 1 systems, and tablets. These
processors use 22-nanometer (nm) transistors and our Tri-Gate transistor processor technology. Our Tri-Gate
transistor technology extends Moore’s Law and is the world’s first 3-D Tri-Gate transistor on a production
technology. In combination, these enhancements can provide significant power savings and performance gains
when compared to previous-generation technologies.
Notebook
Our strategy for the notebook computing market segment is to offer notebook technologies designed to bring
exciting new user experiences to life and improve performance, battery life, wireless connectivity, manageability and
security. In addition, we are designing for smaller, lighter, and thinner form factors. In the second half of 2014, we
expect to introduce our 5th generation Intel Core processor family. We believe these processors will continue to
deliver increasing levels of battery life and graphics performance, as well as provide OEMs and end users with
more choice in operating system compatibility, energy efficiency, processor cores, and graphics performance.
In addition to offering notebooks, we have worked with our customers to help them develop a new class of personal
computing devices that includes Ultrabook devices and 2 in 1 systems. These computers combine the energy-
efficient performance and capabilities of today’s notebooks and tablets with enhanced graphics and improved user
interfaces such as touch and voice in a thin, light form factor that is highly responsive and secure, and that can
seamlessly connect to the Internet. We believe the renewed innovation in the PC industry that we fostered with
Ultrabook devices and expanded to 2 in 1 systems will continue.
Desktop
Our strategy for the desktop computing market segment is to offer exciting new user experiences and products that
provide increased manageability, security, and energy-efficient performance. We are also focused on lowering the
total cost of ownership for businesses. The desktop computing market segment includes all-in-one desktop
products, which combine traditionally separate desktop components into one form factor. Additionally, all-in-one
computers have transformed into portable and flexible form factors that offer users increased portability and new
multi-user applications and uses. For desktop consumers, we also focus on the design of products for high-end
enthusiast PCs and mainstream PCs with rapidly increasing audio and media capabilities.
Our Data Center Group operating segment offers products designed to provide leading energy-efficient
performance for all compute, network and storage platforms. In addition, the Data Center Group (DCG) focuses on
specific optimizations for the Enterprise, Cloud, Communications Infrastructure and Technical Computing segments.
DCG is continuing to ramp the many-core Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor with 60 or more high-performance, low-
power Intel processor cores. The Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors are positioned to boost the power of the world’s most
advanced supercomputers, allowing for trillions of calculations per second. We recently introduced new Intel® Xeon®
