This is a newsflash for the ignorant "but Intel didn't announce layoffs" people
This is what I think Intel should do.
Intel should seriously start a legit foundry business. Lots of big companies make the mistake of fighting inside the castle wall syndrome. When you are winning, you can't take TSMC's customers. When you are losing, they can take your customers... — read more

Note to engineers who think they're not good enough to leave
Honestly, you may be right. It depends on how much you fought to learn useful real technical skills during your career there. TLDR: if you want to leave for greener pastures, you had better get good with technical fundamentals. None of this... — read more

How does Raja compare with Murthy and JimK?
Murthy has PhD from a 3rd tier UK university. Raja has only BS from an Indian college which doesn't seem to be as prestigious as IIT. Of course, we can't tell a person's ability solely by his/her education background, but I think JimK, a Big-Ten... — read more

What Motivates the CEO and Board?
Anyone has a guess as to why INTC became a SJW company? Could it be that the large fund managers for public employees, like CalPERS, demanded it?
What successful semiconductor companies have in common
Look at TSMC, AMD, NVIDIA, BROADCOM.
For anyone dumb enough at this point to even consider working at Intel

Hope
I hope Intel keeps its US-based fabs and continues to upgrade them. It would be a mistake to cede this capacity to outsourcing like so much of our other manufacturing capacity. Interestingly, it seems the US is almost unique in our mass... — read more

Murthy leaving Intel
Last day Aug. 3
In the forum that Bob and Murthy will host on Tue, we should ask Murthy to be held accountable for the 7nm delay and phablet failure.
Someone should raise this in the online Q&A and everyone should up-vote it to the very top spot.
Should Murthy be fired? Is Intel better off without him?
Do you think he delivered up to the expectations? How good of a motivating leader is he?
