Intel unstable chips caused Gmail server down?

Millionaire Executives
Intels millionaire executives need to have a long hard moment of reflection. You greedy fu--s have taken an inspirational exciting respected company and ran it into the dirt. None of you have any respect for what Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore built... — read more
Maybe Pat is not the problem?
Let's see how well we understand Intel, and it's business. If one was to guess how long it takes to design and build a CPU based on a new architecture? Is it one year? Two years? Three years? Five years? or Six to eight years? Spoiler... at Intel... — read more
Who'll be the next to sue Intel?
Now that Intel shareholders are suing the company, who'll be next? I can think of a few groups, laid-off older employees included (age discrimination).
As strange as it sounds
I’m thankful for this mess. It finally pushed me to look for other opportunities. I’ve been here for too long and became complacent. Honestly, I feel more energized now than ever in the past couple of years. I don’t care that the job market looks... — read more
I have two interviews set up for next week
I'm ready to take a pay cut just to get away from Intel. The only thing that's giving me pause is leaving right now when there's such a high possibility that I might be laid off. I'd hate to miss out on getting severance. Would I be a fool if I... — read more
Problem solved
It's up to employees now to save the company. Buy 2 intel Processor based laptops/ desktops instead of one starting this month. Also ask your neighbours and family members to do so. More sales = More revenue= less layoffs. Every contribution counts — read more
Secret to getting promoted
Steal your colleague's work and upsell it to management.
Intel lost "confronting" culture, Intel lost "disagree and commit" culture
Everybody around manager becomes "yes" man, or a manager only keeps "yes" men, that was the start of the disaster. No one can stop Intel falling any more.
Intel should go private
Intel should go private, we should get compensated for the stock we still own, get a payout, and have the Board burn the remaining of the company to the ground... let them burn it, but have stakeholders get out with grace and not completely ripped... — read more
How will Intel rebound if TD manager does not have technical background, yet make all decisions?
How will a GM lead a 1000 people department, if he does not have technical knowledge. This is the current case for TD automation. Is there a better example for single point of failure?
Pat and Dave admit incompetence
https://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/2024/08/intel-execs-admit-they-were-caught-off-guard-by-business-downturn-triggering-historic-cuts.html Caught off guard? You mean CS’s daughter’s two laptop use case wasn’t common? Clowns. — read more
Some of posts are very misleading
Personally I am disgusted with the management style of PG (over-promising and financially irresponsible). I absolutely hated him attending Davos multiple times even when Intel was at a smaller valuation than peers. As a tech leader, he should focus... — read more
SD: Apple is America’s semiconductor problem
With the 2022 CHIPS Act, the federal government made a massive investment to reshore semiconductor chip fabrication. Why? Covid-era shortages of semiconductor chips had revealed America’s shocking dependence on brittle international supply... — read more
5N4Y met, hence lay off!
CWF powered on! 5N4Y met. All the workforce they hired for past few years to meet this goal is no more needed. Hence the layoff!
This seems strangely similar to the allegations in the Investor lawsuit
"Pat Gelsinger was one of the front runners to take over Intel years ago when he was asked to take over Larrabee Microarchitecture; that effort was supposed to finally give Intel a high-end GPU that could compete with NVIDIA and AMD. However, the... — read more
Only hard work and many changes can give Intel a chance at competitiveness
Intel is building too many fabs without a clear customer to fill them, while not knowing how to do foundry with its tighter margins yet. Intel is used to cushy monopoly margins. Foundry has healthy margins, but not that good, and it only profitable... — read more
What dept and location most impacted?
Will it be primarily in sales and finance? Or will engineers be impacted as well? Any info on Santa Clara or Folsom?
If Intel had AMD's Q2, the stock would be $2.00
If Intel had AMD's exact Q2, the Intel stock would be $2.00 a share. At that price, I could personally buy Intel.
Recent cuts have zero impact on most of the employees
Sabbatical cut. Who cares when most are WFH. It has been a four year sabbatical for all WFH people . Elimination of fruits. Same as above. This impacts only folks coming to cafeteria. Free drinks - the coffee machines at RA1 are still there. — read more
If you downsize LTD, there's no Intel Foundry in the next 5y
LTD is always understaffed for the work it got signed up for. Especially with the 5N4Y bullsh-t. Every engineer I know is busting their a-s, working long hours and burning out. If we're still not producing value, then it means the management horribly... — read more

Would performance based CPM really help?
There are a lot of comments here mentioning that low performers should be the first ones to go, but on the other hand, how fair the performance evaluation really is? I've been in restructuring he-l for the past two years and changed 3 managers. My... — read more

2026 EPS $1.88 FactSet
https://www.morningstar.com/news/marketwatch/20240807852/intels-stock-is-down-38-in-a-week-and-it-just-got-downgraded-again Given a PE range of 20-30, share price in 2026 should be 40-60$.

Silver lining
Intel is not going to go bankrupt given the recent financial maneuvers. Expected 40-50billion cashflows (cost saving, incentives, jvs) in the next 1-2 years. DZ also mentioned the cashflows will deleverage the balance... — read more

The nice thing about the shareholder lawsuit will be the discovery phase
Y’know, when things like how many IFS customers at what volumes on what nodes enter the public record. I’m sure having this information public will help boost the INTC stock
