But relevant to Intel: do you upgrade your PC or get an external drive? Even if everyone still has a PC, longer upgrade cycles mean less revenue.

Exactly. Upgrading a hard drive doesn't benefit Intel. They've become their own curse. Intel provide such powerful chips like the i7 series that people don't need to upgrade as often. Power has become irrelevant even a Core i5 is super fast and future proof.
