Summary: Intel laptop is working on a system to make the motherboard more modular. Instead of focusing on customers, the company focuses on OEMS. This will help laptop manufacturers to cut costs in the long run.
While desktops are computer modular and adaptable, laptops are slightly different. It is not easy to swap some parts like Ram, Motherboard, GPU and CPU. This can be a pain for people if a component in their laptop fails.
Lack of laptop deficiency may also be a pain for those companies. If they want to provide different glasses, companies cannot switch components on a motherboard. They will require a completely different model of the board. Intel has a solution that can reduce this headache for laptop manufacturers.
Intel wants to make laptop more modular
This is something that will need to be adopted widely to differentiate. However, we are sure that this will make things easier for the construction of OEM laptops. Intel wants to make its motherboard more modular.
The thinking behind this is that whatever components they want on the motherboard can simply slot what they want. If they need to provide a model with different glasses, they will be able to choose and will be able to choose which parts to slot a completely different board to slot into the motherboard.
Intel can also divide the motherboard into separate classes. This means that when designing your laptop, OEMS will have even more flexibility. Right now, Intel is calling companies like Acer and Asus to adopt this new mindset. We are sure Intel has approached all its major partners.
This is something that can save some money while constructing its laptop. If this happens, we do not expect savings to reduce the consumer, but it will still help in some capacity.
Intel is trying to navigate the difficult situation which is still. The company is struggling prominently with shrinking revenue due to companies turning to ARM-based processors. Even there were talks about entering a joint venture with TSMC. We do not know that these modular components will help the company to change their luck, but we just have to see.
