Just 4 years ago!
It was 4 years ago, I realized “this is only a job”. Here is the set-up. It was a supply chain group that probably lost 40-50% HC since CPM started. They were the so called “enablers”. Really just duplicating what the BUs already do for... — read more
Intel might go bankrupt and shut down by end of 2024.

My son joined AMD instead of intel
My son asked me should I join intel or AMD 1.5 years ago. I told him AMD. Since the. His espp and RSUs grow by 100%. He told me, thanks Dad for helping to make the right decision. Nothing feels beeter than appreciation. I feel sad for intel but I... — read more

AI PC?
What is so special about AI PC? Complete nonsense buzzword. Apple phone chip has had an AI engine since 2017. Once upon a time GPU became integrated into CPU. It is just what happens over time. We didn’t called it Graphics PC then.
Qpb will not be back to ~5 days minimum till end of decade
My AI model predicted 60p gm will be achieved (if) in at least 5 years from now. Don’t count on Qpb anymore
The hole is too deep already
Split off tmgf already. Appoint a ceo who actually understands foundry and process technology instead of this starry eyed cheerleader who just says childish things. BK dug the hole. Bob didn’t fill it. Pat made it deeper. The next guy needs to... — read more
Fab 34 is in tatters
From incomplete specs to Techs being spread to new tools they dont know, the RNU's for tools they have never seen and now the as-low-as 1.5% payrise. There is major discontent and another mass exodus on the way. Wait and see. All experience is... — read more
Big layoff by Q1 .
More than 10k to be laid off. You heard it here first
The game is over
When you hear this sentence from someone you know the game is over “I want each one of you to be in love with Intel again.” A large portion of Employees have lost motivation I feel
Is there any idea how to go forward?
At this point I do not think we can catch up with competition. Years of neglect, marked by the lack of vision, inability to recognize and keep talent, always looking for the easy ways out, thinking that grand words can save the lack of substance, are... — read more
PG and Intel
PG was told to leave Intel years ago because of the marlarkey he was part of years ago that cost Intel several billion $ to settle. And they hired him back! That is how misguided the board is. PG should have never been rehired. What happened to... — read more
Foundry Direct Connect
Can we expect any real, meaningful announcements on February 21? Or is it going to be more nonsensical rahrah claims about how amazing 18A is.
Im demoralized working at intel
Previously I was excited about rewards in last years and now no special feeling. I don’t care at all. I was a type of person doing extra always. Now I’m looking going out. The culture and poor ki-led my motivation
WTF is Habana labs doing?
They talk SO BIG. Oh we are gonna leave nvidia in dust by this fall. Where are they? Where is the f-ing revenue? So much sh-t. Another $2 billion wasted away.

Intel will divest IFS and Altman will head the new company
Altman is looking to setup a semi-conductor fab company. Intel has Fabs that have become millstones around the neck. Seems like moves are afoot to spin-off Fabs. Win-win all around!
Stumbling in the dark
So what are we supposed to be about, exactly? It is obvious we are not catching up with competition, nor have any idea how to do it. Mgmt is throwing around AI as if we have been a world leader in its development. Leadership is trying to convince us... — read more
Intel will be part of history in a few years
As soon as stock goes close to 50 sell them. In a few years intel will be a Sun Microsystems and someone will acquire it. Things does not look good at all in my opinion. I’m a street analyst
Is it possible to make chips for companies that have better chips than us?
Looks like we are trying to manufacture chips for companies that have better chips than us (like amd or nvidia). How can we make those chips in our future fabs if we cannot make better chips for us?
