That's OK. You can keep your cheap PC knowledge base for someone who cares about such things.
What you fail to realize is that JHH's comments are media PR for financial analysts. CxO's are prone to bombast. Don't believe me, I think I can find some classic Rory Read quotes which pretty much prove he doesn't know the first thing about the semiconductor industry. The take home message from JHH is basically what the financial outlets are already fapping over:

All in all, the comment is just a convenient sound bite. JHH spent more time talking about ARMv8, and what got reported depended on the whims of the individual site. In the end it's a small aside that people with nothing better to do can have a squeal about- especially when they can't find fault with the main substance of the article, which is of course that Nvidia are doing OK. 28nm process seems to be ramping well, and that they are for the first time matching their principle competitor in revenue ( $1.204bn for Nvidia, $1.27bn for AMD).

I know the comments are media PR that much is obvious.

Guess I'm just sick of hearing that crap.

Nvidia see's little future for the PC market for themselves. With Intel refusing to allow them to make chipsets for Intel chips, and AMD has their own Radeon graphics and chipsets, Nvidia is being left out.

With tablets you have ARM, and with ARM you have Tegra. The truth is you're better off with a cheap PC then any tablet. The fastest tablet is not as fast as the slowest $200 laptop. Far less capable then a $200 laptop. They can't even print, or run Crysis.

I agree with you completely, however nvidia also didn't do so great a job with their chipset. I owned 4 different motherboard with nforce chipsets and they all had some problem I had to work around or suffer through.

Neither company was without fault in this capacity.
