Intel to break Moore's Law to get Atom competing with ARM

What? That's pretty silly. I don't have any data(n.b.), but my suspicion is that there are many people who still want netbooks. I am one of them. I was just in the Apple store and telling my girlfriend how few use cases I could imagine for myself with an iPad/Tablet. Use in the kitchen as a screen to either read recipes from or watch a show on while cooking was really the only one that came to mind. I imagine iPads lying about on surfaces much more than actively being used. They sacrifice versatility for portability of a certain type. They aren't for instance easier to carry about than a netbook, but since they are all screen they are more ready-to-hand(-and-eyes). On the flip-side, I can't sit in a coffee shop and hack on a tablet. And really almost anytime I'm in front of a computer I might want to do work which means that a tablet is really more restrictive for me than it's worth (for certain values of worth, of course). I understand that there indeed are uses for tablets but those uses aren't totally synonymous with the uses of a netbook.

But this is just me. Has the netbook market really been that devastated by the iPad?
