Intel Exiting the PC Business as it Stops Investment in the Intel NUC

This follows them leaving the motherboard OEM market effectively some years ago.. I always thought there was some value in Intel doing this, but an interesting way to cut costs..

I think for NUC the message has made it across clearly by now - make x86 stuff with other form factors and OEMs are delivering..
 
I don’t think Intel was trying to compete with its partners, so much as trying to prevent competing ARM based products from gaining a foothold. This product was release about a year after the Raspberry Pi was introduced. I think the fear was that if Intel did not offer a solution, products like the Pi could move from the hobbyist niche to mainstream or enterprise adoption.
