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?

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

Did anyone get affected by new rounds of layoffs? CCG was supposed to notify employee by 05/30.

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 

Any single area where Intel is leading?

Looks like in chips, AMD better. Looks like we do not have AI to compete to Nvidia Looks like in fabric, tmsc bear us badly. Looks like in GPU's we are not leading. Is there any single market that we dominate? Are we f-c*Ed? We seem to be 5 to... — read more 

This makes so much sense

I'm an ex-Amazon senior leader. Here's why layoffs keep happening and why ambitious managers are fueling them. https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-reason-for-layoffs-former-senior-tech-leader-2023-5

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.

Intel desperate for cash...selling crown jewels

Thought AMD was playing crooked and giving away x86 IP to the Chinese. Never thought Intel will do the same thing. What is Intel getting in return? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chinese-computer-maker-powerleader-says-093000022.html Looks like... — read more

Will PG be the Lisa Su of Intel??

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.

How can anyone even defend Intel at this point?

I literally don't get it. The proof has been there for years. Can't execute. Stock price smashed to smithereens. Has cut back on employee benefits including 401k and reduced salaries. Abysmal work culture and politics. Any skills gained are... — read more

Who Really Fired BS?

This weak and uncaring board would not be the real force to have BS fired for wanting to split Intel. The financial institutions would have seen the writings on the wall and know that splitting is the only way forward. Then who is the real force... — read more
