He says they feel solid on outlook for core and edge routing and for the mobility platform.

While the enterprise router market will benefit most directly from expanding budgets at large companies, a recent report from Infonetics Research suggest that improvement in IT spending is permeating the service provider market (including core and edge routers) as well.
The effects of passed-on energy costs, as well as higher import prices stemming from a weaker dollar, have probably not run their course, so core inflation may edge higher in the months to come.
Although enterprise routers remain the single largest profit driver for Cisco, we note that the service provider router segment (including both edge and core routers) does generate a combined profitability beyond the individual contribution from the enterprise segment.

The basic Edge will feature an Intel Core i5 processor, NVIDIA GT640M LE graphics and 64 GB of storage.
However, while Alcatel Lucent may have not had a core routing solution till now, its edge routers are fairly well-known.

The Edge sports a dual-core 1Ghz CPU, tempered glass (instead of acrylic), 5-megapixel camera, 4-inch 233-ppi display and Android Jelly Bean.
The Gateway UC7807u comes with leading-edge technology including an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T6400 (2.0GHz) with Intel Centrino Processor Technology, 3GB of DDR2 667MHz memory and Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD.

Apotheker has a vision of the world that is coherent and, to the minds of many, true: Many small mobile and desktop devices at the edge, connected to a core with huge amounts of computing, data storage, data analysis, and communication, operating in real time.
Hoping to keep pace with community feedback, Razer is kitting out the Edge with a 3rd gen Intel Core processor, a 10.1-inch 1, 366 x 768 display, an NVIDIA GT640M LE GPU, 4 to 8GB of DDR3 RAM, USB 3.0 and a 64, 128 or 256GB SSD, depending on the SKU. Min translated the slate's build into some digestible framerates: 59 fps in Dishonored, he told us, and 41 fps in DiRT Showdown.
The end result for Edge is a third-generation Intel Core processor, NVIDIA GeForce graphics and more memory than any other tablet currently on the market.
With carriers moving to higher-speed 4G networks like LTE to support the explosion of data traffic caused by the rapid adoption of cloud computing solutions and burgeoning video usage, Alcatel Lucent is looking to take advantage of the industry transition and leverage its existing base of edge routers to find an opening in the core router market.

We'll tentatively give Razer a pass on this one -- the Edge Pro's 8GB of RAM and Intel Core i7 CPU can go toe to toe with the best Windows 8 slabs on the horizon, and its dedicated GPU closes the deal.
Still, while the new CPUs represent AMD's desktop high-end, they only stack up against Intel's mid-range Core i5 family, and even against that line-up they only edge ahead in heavily threaded testing.

Lloyd contends that that Cisco has gained share in core routing in each of the last four quarters, while gaining ground in edge routing in each of the last two quarters.
Perched on the proverbial auction block, most of the Razer Edge's specs look strikingly familiar -- a 1.7GHz Core i5 (or i7, to match the XPS 12), 4-8GB of RAM and Windows 8.
