The two members of the Wintel monopoly (MS & Intel) both missed out on the mobile device revolution that started back around 2007, led by the iPhone and iPad. MS couldn't produce a phone anyone wanted to buy and Intel couldn't make a low power chip that would perform well enough or stay cool enough in an iPhone. Jobs decided that Apple would have to make their own A series chips and the rest is history. So the beginnings of this Intel slide go back even further than the past 3-4 years. They didn't acknowledge the bigger trend indicating that more efficient lower power chips that run cooler were the direction they should head in.
