Loss of Apple’s Processor Business Will Not Hurt Samsung
Even though Samsung has lost Apple as a client for processor chips, the lost will not affect Samsung’s business or what it plans on doing in 2013. According to Digitimes Samsung plans to “sustain its growth momentum” in 2013. Samsung growth should be coming from the growth of its Galaxy series and Tablets. Mark Newman of Bernstein Research says if Apple really does’nt want Samsung services with processor, the worst case scenario would be Samsung would see a 3% hit in revenue., “that is of course if Apple’s business cannot be filled by other businesses.” Yungjohnnybravo x TatWZA

2013 Apple Macbooks Getting New Processors, Keeps Same Design
Looks like Ultrabook manufacturs are worried about Apple’s 2013 Macbook Air and Macbook Pro lineup,the word is Apple is looking to boost a new processor platform. Even though Apple plans on getting a new processor platform the hardware itself will stay the same and will not be redesigned, I guess Apple wants to keep it safe. If Apple decides to do so the older models of the Air and Pro will have price reductions which will compete with Ultrabooks and making the demand for them even lower. Sources say they expect Apple to move about 17 million Macbook Pros and Airs in 2013, a jump from 2011 (12 million) and 2012 (9 million thru 3 qtrs.) . Yungjohnnybravo x TAtWZA
