Until that switch happens, it cannot abandon TMG. IT means Intel has to run a parallel design effort for a long time, as older existing products go through steppings and tweaks, while keeping TMG alive in case the second design team cannot make... — read more
How safe is SERMA?
I'm a recent retiree, and I'm wondering if the money in my SERMA account is protected, as in a trust for example. I am not withdrawing anything from it currently as I currently have insurance through better options, but certainly don't want to risk... — read more
Strategic silence
Reminder: Just because you see something dumb or wrong on the internet doesn't mean you have to amplify it by pointing out how dumb or wrong it is. "Strategic silence" is often the best way to personally combat misinformation.

It's getting worse
Venting a bit here regarding raises and promotions - both are abhorrently inconsistent. What I see nowadays is that new hires often start at higher salary than people working there for many years. Now, add to that all the perks that keep disappearing... — read more

Intel to transition all chips to TSMC
TSMC will be on 5nm while Intel and TMG will be struggling with 10nm, no brained to transition all chips to TSMC
Due diligence process for acquisitions
Intel's due diligence process for acquisitions is a joke. Intel Capital should be dissolved and shut down. Apple is 5X larger market cap than Intel and look how they do acquisitions - extremely selective, small and targeted acquisitions, mostly under... — read more

What do you think?
Is it a bad idea to start a career in Semiconductor Industry?
For the past few years, with so many mergers and acquisitions, layoffs, uncertainty - is it a good idea to start a semiconductor career?
So, how long do you think this can continue?
How long can Intel go without a CEO? At least not an interim one. I'll be honest, I was certain we'd know BK's successor by now. It's a bit surprising it's taking them this long to find an adequate replacement (God knows it can't be difficult to find... — read more
Some facts
The facts are Intel is milking 14nm and current products to death. This, combined with a healthy demand is producing great quarterly results. However, there is 0 innovation going on, which will come to bite Intel in the azz sooner or later. Very... — read more
No hope for Intel unless something radically sane and smart happens

Just a general thread on 10nm
Intel picked up two more top AMD folks. Rats off a sinking ship lol
Darren McPhee and Greg Stoner.
Does anyone work in Intel's FPGA (formerly Altera) group? What's wrong with you guys? You were the only group lagging this quarter.
Are you worried about layoffs? WHy not? You just lost as massive competition to Xylinx. Server group winning, beating everyone. Modem group winning, beating Qualcomm. Mobileye winning. NV memory winning. Consumer PCs winning. And you guys aren't... — read more

Intel plans to outsource their entry-level processor production to Taiwan
The outsourcing of some segments of production has been discussed for some time, but now it looks as though that plan has been set into motion. The article reports that Intel has begun extensive talks with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company... — read more
Does Intel need a CEO? As long as each division has an effective leader what's the point of a CEO? Murthy manages TMG, Shenoy (or is it
spellman?) data center. Israeli guy mobileye. Someone fpga (who?). someone memory (who?). someone wireless (who?)
