Examining the Market as Intel Works on 5G-Enabled PCs
Intel (INTC) announced in February that it was collaborating with Dell (DVMT), HP (HPQ), Lenovo (LNVGY), and Microsoft (MSFT) to bring 5G (fifth generation) connectivity to Windows PCs (personal computers). Intel said it would supply the modem chips to enable 5G connectivity in PC devices to be developed by partners. Intel-based, 5G-enabled mobile laptops should start arriving in 2H19. Intel is working on bringing 5G-enabled PCs just as the global PC market is expected to stage a comeback.
