To all the H1B haters
To the people hating on H1Bs - while there's a genuine problem with this program and the cultural effects of "some" H1Bs, it is ridiculous to generalize and hate all H1Bs. Do you think successful companies such as Nvidia, Amazon, Apple, MSFT etc do... — read more

Another stupid week ahead
It’s not normal to work in conditions we’ve found ourselves in and for such a long period of time. Even by corporate standards. I gave up on Intel some time ago, and now I just observe how it will all resolve.
For those still at Intel: Does it feel like you are polishing the brass on the Titanic?
Besides a paycheck and benefits, what gives you hope, purpose, motivation, etc. in this environment?
Rumors: Intel open 5 CEO jobs for next 4 years.

Has the job market been getting any better?
I’ve been trying to find another job for half a year now. It’s been a depressing experience, to say the least. Now I’m hearing from people that things have improved, but I don’t see any difference. It may be subjective. Anyone seeing any improvement... — read more
5 Nodes in 4 Years was a PowerPoint Marketing Scam
This was a scam to sell investors on the technological capability of Intel. 2878 has been in development since 2014. Unless it was demonstrated that these nodes were at manufacturing yields that could make money this was a beautiful PowerPoint slide... — read more
Reality is that employment at Intel has always been risky.
They at one time paid a salary premium which offset that risk and for non-engineers, the salary is still reasonably good. The company did it's first layoff 3 years after being founded, shedding 30% of the workforce in the early 1970s. It has laid... — read more
For anyone more obsessed with the stock than Pat, Christie, or Sales GMs having fun,
the sector appears to have topped or at least is due for a solid retest and that should put a spike down in Intel given the uncertainty of the current situation. Of course, NVDA, AMD, AVGO, TSM will also be cheaper, and Intel is not likely to... — read more

Does anyone know what’s happened with Greg?
18A
Anyone have any idea if this is true? What is it relative to the current projection? When is it supposed to ship? Another delay and we will be toast. Is there a clear, high confidence, roadmap for the fixes? Are the fixes being urgently addressed at... — read more
Intel hasn't 'failed'. It is merely an incomplete success.
Choose to see the fabs half empty but they are actually half full.
Issues for registering Intel Cobra for 2025? premium due is shown
Did everyone register Intel Cobra without issues for 2025? For me 2024 explicitly shows no payment due as Intel subsidiary pays the premium. However, when I was registering for 2025, the Intel subsidiary didn't show up, therefore, all the premium... — read more
Another HUGE payout to the next CEO to try and right the ship.

Q to insiders: What's up on Circuit these days?
Is it the usual Blah-rah-rah from the Corporate Propaganda Department or the reality is being acknowledged?
Lots of histrionic posting about the eminent demise of Intel, but that is unlikely outcome.
Reality is that the company still has plenty of revenue and just needs to scale the Foundry and Products to better fit the addressable market (not some fantasy market where everyone comes back to Intel). The Product side has gotten back on the... — read more

Hey, but… “Reward”?
