Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Tim Brugger]

  Krzanich's plan was to move "even faster into ultra-mobility, to lead Intel into the next era." That sounded good at the time, but it came back to bite Krzanich and Intel shareholders. The problem? Intel's mobile efforts, particularly when compared to industry leader Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM  ) , have performed less than spectacularly, and investors paid the price.

  Category 9 LTE-Advanced courtesy of Qualcomm
  The rumor claims category 10 LTE-Advanced, which means 450 megabits per second download speeds and 100 megabits per second upload speeds, and it claims a Samsung-designed modem, to boot. I find this very difficult to believe simply given that Samsung barely got its own category 6 LTE-Advanced modem out the door. Even then, it chose Qualcomm's (NASDAQ: QCOM  ) MDM9235 and Intel's (NASDAQ: INTC  ) XMM 7260 LTE-Advanced modems for a number of the Galaxy Note 4 models that ended up shipping.
