Intel, perhaps more than ever, needs to prove why it is still a force to be reckoned with in mobile computing. The past few months haven’t been kind to the chipmaker; Apple announced its plans to abandon the company in favor of creating custom chips while AMD’s Ryzen 4000 CPUs have garnered much-deserved praise from critics and customers alike.
