Analysts at Goldman Sachs are saying that chip maker Intel may be in a pickle as microprocessor shipments slow and it faces stiff competition. That said, analysts have advised stockholders to sell Intel as they downgraded the stock.
James Covello and Simon Schafer of GS said that there will be a surplus in chips due to plant expansion. Meanwhile the rest of the gang on Wall Street is forecasting a six percent year-over-year rise in Intel’s sales, amid expanding gross margins, Goldman says otherwise and that sales will be flat due to excess capacity.
Furthermore, Intel is expected to face problems dealing with better chips from their main rival AMD: while tablets are cannibalising notebooks with ARM kicking its tail in the mobile space.

Word on the street is that Intel is in the process of developing an entirely new Atom architecture based on its 3D transistor technology they announced last week. This new architecture should enable more power efficiency on the chip.
The new processor is being called Silvermont and the Atom will encompass a system-on-chip design, similar to Intel’s Z760 Atom or ARM’s processors. Silvermont is being designed on Intel’s 22nm process and harness the power of Intel’s 3D transistor technology that has yet to be tested.

Intel may have jumped eons ahead of its competitors by redesigning the transistor. Yesterday Intel said the firm will start designing 3D transistors which will let them design smaller and more powerful processors.
The new Tri-gate design apparently will use a 22-nanometer process. The processors using this method will go into production later in the year and should start showing up in computers in 2012 under the code name of “Ivy Bridge”. The new designs should be more eco-friendly since they will consume less power. Intel is saying that a dual-core chip with 22nm tri-gate transistors would use the same amount of power as a 32nm chip. If these specs are valid, the move may give Intel the break it needs to become more competitive in the smartphones and tablet space now dominated by ARM.
