Things started getting bad at Intel under Craig Barrett (CRB). Intel was making garbage in Mobile and NOR-Flash. Mobile CPU used ARM architecture. Research In Motion (RIM) was Mobile customer. Mobile chip was used in Blackberry telephone. Intel also... — read more 

Outside of Intel… how are “Intel management” viewed? Or “Intel shift engineer” viewed? Would you rather be an individual contributor or a manager for attractiveness? Looking at how poorly the company executes, my assumption is non-management... — read more 

A lot of our groups will not notify cpm until 1/15. Not really able to plan vacations or other things not knowing if we will be employed.

I've given up on seeing a good CEO run this company in my lifetime, but there were some great CEOs at the helm in past decades. I wonder, who do you think was the last great CEO? When did the troubles start? I think things started to go downhill once... — read more 

Where can we find the employees that were transferred? Is there somewhere to look for who got laid off?

Intel and SoftBank-backed VLSI Technology have agreed to end a $4 billion patent dispute, according to documents filed in Delaware District Court this week. The decision marks a victory for Intel, which has already lost $3 billion in failed patent... — read more 

Here's my 2 cent : Most of them don't have any viable skillset to be employable outside or just want to slobber around with a fat paycheck and somehow the org and ELT values it as "too big to fail"

This isn’t the 90s or 2010 when silicon RD and factory CapEx was in the billions and tens of billions and when x86 volume and complexity for the process was simple enough to enabled Intel to be a leader and to have GM the envy of the industry. Times... — read more 

I'm hard pressed to come up one that is persistent and relevant. Innovation on the full custom CISC, high power x86 IP domain? (weak persistent and becoming irrelevant -- ARM is disrupting for all directions ). Leadership process... — read more 

There are too many candidates who apply for an open position. How much does having Intel on resume help? What are your experiences?

Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Thursday she would request a meeting with representatives of Intel (INTC.O) to discuss a possible multibillion-euro investment by the U.S. chipmaker in... — read more 

As some of you have suggested, buying depressed Intel shares is dead money. I’m curious about the math behind $3B in cost savings and it’s impact on earnings, share price and dividends over the next several quarters.

Intel OKRs - what are they? Long time employee here… what is the benefit? Why are these tracked every quarter? What is the end goal? Is this really “industry leading”? What do TSMC and Samsung use?

I don't agree that all the talented people left Intel a long time ago. Surprisingly, there are still some in this company. Why they allow their talent to be wasted here instead of being properly valued and rewarded somewhere else is another topic... — read more 

Intel's business, engineering, and manufacturing models are all being disrupted viciously and simultaneously by much better competitors. TSMC, AMD, Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Google, and startups are all getting a piece of Intel and rightfully so !!! — read more

This is what happens when you decide to pay the lowest possible wages to new hires while expecting high-quality results. The fact is, if we paid more and got better candidates, we would need fewer workers. Instead, the management would rather hire... — read more 

I just don't see enough ROI (return on investment) in turning the ship around anymore.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD -2.05%) and Nvidia (NVDA -6.58%) hold a near-duopoly in discrete GPUs. Nvidia controls the majority of the market with its higher-end chips, while AMD remains the persistent underdog in the lower-end market. However, that... — read more 

Almost everyone believes that the company has the wrong strategy. However, rarely does anyone say what would be the right strategy!? Maybe it's too late now, but Intel needs radical changes in my opinion.

we launched RPL, which is unimaginative iteration of ADL, even more hot, power hungry, and expensive to make we failed to launch SPR again we launched ACM after crypto-fueled demand collapsed, and it turned out to be unmitigated disaster in terms... — read more 

More than 20% of the companies non mfg jobs are being cut. Some points: If they offered voluntary cuts in the factory they would have lost a lot of folks they cannot afford to lose. If they offered the same package in the US as Europe…they would... — read more

Intel was once the standard, when it had a huge headstart and monopoly. They ditched meritocracy for D&I and progressive values. Now the engineering staff all WFH and forgot how to find the factory. The titanic is sinking…

Those who generally view everything very negatively believe that the company is heading for bankruptcy. Are there any serious, rational arguments that Intel could soon go bankrupt? That would be the worst case scenario and I don't think it will... — read more 

Things can't improve for one simple reason. It's getting harder and harder to find good talent these days. Add to that the fact we're constantly going through layoffs, and that becomes almost impossible. As a result, what we have at Intel after... — read more 

Has anyone else noticed an increase in the degree of micro-managing for Fab and out of fab roles? CWW techs (fab and ROC), engs, OMs, SGLs - anyone in CWW working schedule. Is this a new form of power abuse? The complaints are running rampant and... — read more 

Give me billions of $$$ but be patient because my “strategy” will take at least 20 years to work for the company 😂

Pat was promising when he started, set the right tone, said right things, but then he implemented the strategy. Betting too much on fab, which has been the Achilles heel for Intel, not improving execution and blaming predecessors. Any other company... — read more

Fabs will be absorbed into Samaung or spun off. After that, what is really left? The aging x86 architecture..

The stock is at 8yr low. Will there be a dividend cut? Cost cuts are being done to prop up the share price and still pay dividend. Dividend cut will be death knell for Intel share price. Therefore, it should be a safe investment? May be it is... — read more

Kudos to Intel for allowing CPM'ers with an MPP payout to change their term date to 12/30 (from 12/31). Resulted in a 50% increase in lump sum payout.
