INTC is a well-established player in the semiconductor industry, with a strong presence in the CPU market. The company has been investing heavily in new technologies like AI, 5G, and autonomous driving, which could drive its growth in the future. INTC has also been expanding into new markets like the foundry business, which could provide additional revenue streams.
Intel plans to compete in the coming years by focusing on product leadership grounded in a philosophy of openness and choice. The company aims to deliver value to its customers by leveraging its engineering capabilities and working with partners across an open, innovative ecosystem to deliver technology that drives every major vector of the computing experience, including performance, battery life, connectivity, graphics, and form factors to create the most advanced PC platforms.
Intel has released its 13th Gen Intel Core desktop processors, the second generation of its performance hybrid architecture, which combines efficient-cores and performance-cores to deliver performance and experiences that are scalable across all PC market segments. The 13th Gen processor family is expected to deliver uncompromised computing performance for every PC segment and out to the edge. In total, Intel expects to deliver more than 500 designs from partners across major multinational corporations and leading manufacturers.
Intel is also making strides to renew its execution machine, with 7-nanometers progressing very well. The company has launched new innovative products, established Intel Foundry Services, and made operational and organizational changes to lay the foundation needed to win in the next phase of its history.
Intel sees sustained strength in client demand as compute becomes more ubiquitous. The ecosystem is back to shipping over 1 million PC units a day despite grappling with component shortages. Intel expects PC TAM growth will continue in 2022 and beyond, driven by three factors: PC density, or PCs per household, is increasing as COVID has irreversibly changed the way we work, learn, connect, and care for each other.
Intel is also focusing on accelerating computing and graphics, with the client discrete GPU market being a significant market opportunity for the company. Intel has started ramping its Arc GPU into notebooks, with the first-gen product receiving constructive reviews. The team is still on track to roll out desktop versions this quarter and ship 4 million plus discrete GPUs this year.
In processors, Intel competes with AMD and vendors who design applications processors based on ARM architecture, such as Qualcomm and, increasingly, Apple with its M1 and M2 products. Intel expects this competitive environment to continue to intensify in 2023.
Overall, Intel believes that its breadth and depth of software, silicon, and platforms, and packaging and process, combined with its at-scale manufacturing, uniquely positions the company to capitalize on the vast growth opportunity in the semiconductor market, which is expected to double to $1 trillion by 2030. Intel's momentum is building, as the company once again beat expectations and raised its full-year revenue and EPS guidance.
