Circling The Drain
Was so proud for so many years to work at INTC. When margins were 60%+, we felt untouchable. We used to laugh about AMD clinging to a meager existence… how the times have changed… So many still think we are that 60%+ margin company that will simply... — read more

Do we have a clue as to target head reduction?

When the ISP comes
And it will come, if history is any judge. Will Intel need to give any of that sweet, sweet CHIPS Act money back?
NVIDIA is a big problem for Intel...
Two NVIDIA HGX computers with Hopper GPUs that together cost $500K can replace 1,000 nodes of CPU Servers that cost $10 million for AI, scientific computing or data processing workloads. I do not see this getting any better for Intel is the... — read more
Voluntary layoffs… now what?
So, the voluntary period is now over. Those who applied and were accepted should have been notified… now what? It is unlikely that enough people signed up to satiate the needed cost savings, right?

CPU heat problems
You don't have to look far to notice some big time content creators, who have been Intel/Windows fanboys for decades, jumping ship for stable systems like Apple Studio. Is it time to fix what is broken before everyone is laid off?

Sell them all as you still can before you get laid off
High focus on reducing costs
