ARMH chips being associated with junk will only help Intel
Microsoft Surface is generating a lot of interest but interest was not necessarily leading to sales Trip Chowdhry said in a note Monday.
Customers he spoke with are waiting for Microsoft to release a version of Surface running the Windows 8 operating system on Intel chips. Current Surface models run Windows RT on low-power ARM chips.
Sales of Surface tablets would have been five times better than current levels had Microsoft shipped Windows 8 models first, he said.
