Intel ready to offer All-in-One desktop PCs in India

The world’s largest and highest valued semiconductor chip maker, Intel, is looking to partner original design manufacturers(ODMs) to offer All-in-One(AIO) desktop PCs in India. The AIO segment has been growing steadily in the country and across the globe, a company official said.

The Intel India director, Rajiv Bhalla, stated that AIO desktops are gaining traction in the desktop market, driven mostly by the consumer segment, where their share is expected to grow steadily and hit 33 per cent by the end of 2015.

He revealed that the shipments for AIOs have been growing steadily for the last five quarters with an average of 50,000 shipments per quarter in India.

The firm believes that the AIO segment will revive the desktop market which has witnessed a four percent growth year-on-year.

Last year 2,60,000 units of AIOs were reportedly sold in India. The company, which launched smartphones recently, is looking for new partners.

Intel has partnered Lava in India, Orange in Europe and Lenovo in China for the smartphones. The firm is looking for more partners globally.
