Intel Ivy Bridge remains mainstream platform for laptop market

DigiTimes reports that for the time being, Intel's Ivy Bridge remains the mainstream platform for the notebook industry. A time for termination has not been set.

Currently, Ivy Bridge-based notebooks are still more popular than Haswell-based ones in the market and notebook ASP continues to stay below NT$20,000 (US$675), causing mid-range models and ultrabooks to suffer from weak demand, the sources noted.

With Ivy Bridge demand remaining strong, Intel is likely to postpone the termination of the platform, but such a move would put Haswell at an awkward position as next-generation Broadwell will also become available in the near future, the sources noted.
