today's video is brought to you in part by Corsair if you are looking for a nice set of wireless gaming headphones that will not break your piggy bank and still have a lot of nice features the Corsair hf 70 s may be just what you were looking for with features like true 2.4 gigahertz connectivity a removable mic easy to adjust controls and solid sound these headphones are perfect for their price range the HS 70 headphones work with your PC Xbox or Playstation 4 and come to market at under $100 check them out and see what you think ok ever since I've been into tech Intel has pretty much been the name synonymous with everything that I personally have done I have used some AMD CPUs over the years in different projects but mainly and especially in the very beginning when I first started doing PC stuff Intel was the name that I always looked upon and back in those days I mean I'm talking about pretty much like almost in the very beginning of the PC stuff because I've been doing PC stuff honestly since like the late 80s so pretty much very since the PCs bit introduced in the market I've been into it and Intel has been the name of the cpu that I mainly used and there's been a reason for this and the reason for that has been is that over that time Intel has usually had the most stable CPUs that's just been a fact now AMD has really really upped their game in the Flast especially in the last year and they've closed that gap significantly and it looks like that AMD may even pass Intel this year completely depending on how their marketing strategy is and how their products are now Intel has made a lot of mistakes over the years you guys know that recently there have been some personnel changes over at Intel some people you know getting sacked from their job over some you know internal BS which none of us really gives a crap about but it just shows that there tree over there is being shaken up now to me though beyond the Wii business practices the lawsuits and all the stuff back and forth that's gone over the years where I feel that Intel truly truly totally screwed up is back in the day when mobile CPUs were first being introduced Intel pretty much did not focus on that market whatsoever because let's just face it if Intel would have switched back in those days from just worrying about desktop processors and server processors and would have worried about cell phone stuff they'd be in a much much different position than they're in right now now I know that many people are like pissed off and Intel because they're like oh you know they tried to cock-block AMD from selling their CPUs and all that kind of stuff and you know what that to me is just business bullcrap like bad tactics and cutthroat tactics I've said this before always a part of every business I mean if you're running a business it's kind of like running a military unit I've said this before you're just out to crush your competition so I can understand why Intel would do some shady stuff but the thing that's really hurt them in their pocket book has been sticking to pretty much the same market let's just face it CPUs have kind of froze up now it's like it okay we're five gigahertz were there we're not really seeing anything advancing past that so instead of being able to make processes really any faster as far as the single core goes well now we see all these multi-core CPUs CPUs with 32 cores and I mean come on that's just some crazy crazy crap now if that market was different and we hadn't already like stretched Moore's law as thin as uber bound about to break maybe things would be different but the mobile market has taken off cell phone technology cell phones everything that has to do with that mobile market is pretty much the mainstay these days you know there was a time when Bill Gates said hey you know my goal is for that every home you know in the United States has a computer in it and honestly I think in the u.s. that's probably very true I think that all everybody out there has some type of computer and I know there's probably a few people who don't but even these people who don't have computers guess what they have cell phones right definitely they definitely have a cell phone program because home phones are really a thing of the past hardly anybody has I mean really walk into anybody's house anymore and see a landline I'm sure there are a few people that do but overall it's a cell phone world and if years ago Intel would have jumped on that bandwagon and start developing CPUs that were for that particular market they would have been in such a different position than they are right now we see Samsung we see Apple those two guys right now pretty much dominate the market you don't see too many as I know there probably is another couple companies out there that I'm unaware of that are competing in that market but we know that the two big ones are the Apple and the Samsung those the two biggest competitors why isn't Intel out there like honestly at this point if you went out and you bought yourself one of those new Google phones a Google phone that was totally related to everything to do with Microsoft and stuff usually was tied in with Intel but because Intel didn't touch that market they've lost out on all of that cash all of it now AMD probably could have done the same thing but they didn't really pay attention to the mobile market either so that's kind of like a downfall in both of them but the only problem is this the market has changed so much recently that Intel being that they wore the top dog for so long now has this huge Achilles heel in their company they're only developing stuff for PCs and for servers obviously but guess what that market especially here in the USA has been saturated saturated and saturated like I said their goal was to get everybody to have a PC in their home and for the most part that's true everybody I know has a PC in their house I do know a couple of people who live in rural places that are just like you know they're not really like really in touch with technology whatsoever but like I said before II they have cell phones so I feel it the biggest thing that intel ever did to cause their company and harm and to bring them down was to not jump into the mobile market when they had the time you know regardless of all the other business bullcrap regardless of the CPU market you know hitting pretty much a wall if they had that revenue and that market it would make things so much different for Intel all around so Intel if you're watching this hey you guys know it as well as I do when that mobile market started booming you should have switched tracks you should have grabbed ahold of that thing and said hey Jolly Roger let's hit that next track because when you didn't do that you put yourself in a position to faze yourself out because let's just face it computers right now are kind of at a wall there's no great new technology really coming from anything if things are just slightly getting faster and that's really all there is what we need now probably is a quantum computer so Intel make a quantum computer and then maybe you can jump back in the game and dominate once again so hey guys thanks for watching the channel that's just my two cents I hope you guys enjoyed the video peace out enjoy the tech world
