Netbooks are still all the rage these days, but according to Intel, this is going to change soon. The company has stated that they first thought that netbooks, who are almost exclusively powered by Intel chips, would be for emerging markets, but as it turns out, they are especially popular in Europe and North America. Intel claims that while these devices are "fine for an hour", they are not something for day to day use. And AMD? They are ignoring the market altogether.

Actually, dead end means that there is no progress pass the current location. as in the road comes to a dead end. I see no signs that x86 is at a dead end, impasse, whatever. x86 has effectively taken over the PC, workstation, server, HPC and Mac markets, and is moving into netbooks and smartphones. that's not a dead end, that's a total and utter domination of multiple markets.
How anybody can claim that x86 has hit a dead end is beyond me.
