Never have so many people worked the bare minimum only
I'm not trying make excuses for anyone, but I somewhat understand people who have decided to do only the bare minimum necessary to keep their job. Maybe it's time for Intel to examine why there are now so many of them?
M2 Ultra, the ki-ler of Core i7 and even Xeon?
In performance per watt, M2 Ultra looks like a ki-ler. What’s Intel response???
Intel is going through an unusually bad downturn
It's more than just lagging behind in TD compared to the competitors. It's a multitude of a truck load of bad decisions made over the last decade. With the most optimistic outcome of current efforts in TD, it will take at least two years to see some... — read more
New rounds of layoff

Bleed blue
When Pat first took the CEO role, he mentioned that a number of former employees were “really excited” to come back to Intel. How’s that going? Is there still (in Pat’s own words) an “irrational” level of excitement. Do these people still “bleed... — read more

Intel can't fab anything but x86 CPUs
Qualcomm and Tesla already turned down Intel foundry. Even Intel GPUs are fabbed at TSMC, Nvidia is not going to risk their business on a sub-standard foundry.

Why can’t our GPU compete with Nvidia or AMD?
Is it harder to design GPU than CPU? I don’t know. But if we can design first class CPU, what is preventing us from designing first class GPU? Talent? Management? Lack of corporate support? At least we should know where the problem is, right?
Intel is not a real company
For many years it has been behaving more like a bloated third-world bureaucracy or a fake NGO, profiting from virtue signaling and so-called ESG.
