Reminiscent of DEC in mid 90s
DEC had technical leaders while growing, then they brought in Bob Palmer in mid 90s who was a bean counter. DEC had sparkling new child Alpha then however, most of the revenue came from VAX/VMS that was bread and butter of the company and that let... — read more
It’s sad that nobody wants to “take the wheel”
While we all knew that Intel was incapable of finding a decent new CEO, but we all hoped something would change and a good leader figure would emerge. God knows we needed a change of direction and a “breath of fresh air@ at the company. Still, when I... — read more
A few points that Bob Swan might want to think about
New CEO needs to deal the mess of manufacturing as it now lags behind TSMC two generations. It is serious because TSMC is not just one company. It works for all Intel's competitors. They can now put more transistors in unit area than Intel, which was... — read more

Where is Latefield?
When will we see high velocity Latefield in high volume production? Surely that new Q team and it's new HVDM has panned out to be clearly better than prior Intel SOC teams.
Average focal raise this year
Anyone heard of any rumors? Is it going to be another 2.x%?
Don't get too excited about the AMD hype train.
The truth is AMD had a lousy quarter just like every other chip company,Nvidia being the worst. AMD also indicated it's going to have a lost Q1. What's moving AMD is the promise that starting Q2,it will be great because by then, Rome will be out, new... — read more
