"Intel's new architecture "Haswell" (successor of Ivy Bridge on the 22 nm node) has not managed to turn around the declining fortunes of the PC market. While Intel has met most of its promises with Haswell such as energy efficiency, power consumption and graphics, the market uptake for these new processors have not gone as well as planned. I think the major reason for this lack of success is that most user requirements are being met by existing products and users do not require a better processor to run the existing software/services. Unlike the mobile devices market, the rate of innovation in the PC market has been quite pathetic."
Well put but there's one itty bitty 'lil point missing that contributes to lower Haswell sales and that's the fact that you gotta buy a whole new motherboard to run Haswell!! Hello???
