There are a lot of rumors going around about it, but nobody can give a whole picture or really confirm anything beyond personal experience or that of colleagues in a team. If it’s true, what may be the reason? I would think they would want to get rid... — read more 

Vast majority of FMSC VSP is being denied , why the he-l did they open it up , apparently ER filled the quota -

Not needed as VSP and ER were so oversubscribed - phew

Not sure if anyone cares, but if you take a VSP, ISP, or otherwise quit your group may patent your work without your name on it. I know someone who worked very hard and was the secondary architect on a NINE patents that were filed the month after he... — read more 

Three years went by. Id--ts on ELT just sat there blowing through Intel's cash, taking on new debt, happily ignoring AI, happily trusting the fat lady in TD on 18A. Now it turns out we have no future in AI, 18A has no hopes of yielding until 2026... — read more

Why isn't he the first one to go? I am curious as to what the VP to employee ratio is, and how many of those decision makers should actually be held accountable?

Rock bottom can be whatever you want it to be, however deep you want to go But you will keep going deeper until you’re ready to change your behavior

If they don’t make VSP available to everyone the office will be filed with hostages begging to leave. If people decide to walk there won’t be any handoffs. This place is over and anyone who left is lucky.

Free coffee is still available in TD. How many thousands of $$$ are we throwing down the drain every month by continuing the free coffee? Why not pay the ELT staff for one extra day with that money?

Not that it really matters. But human psychology is a wonder. I’m hoping for greater chances for each one of us if VSP takers count. In reality, none of it will make much difference. Given the state of Intel and its uncertain future, I wouldn’t be... — read more

Or will they still do another full 15% ISP of remaining population … PG did imply minimum was 15% so maybe this way the total involuntary layoff still comes in at what he stated but the reduction is substantially more which would please investors?

Lunar lake will smoke AMD.

Any information regarding layoff headcount numbers in TD? Rumors as many people took retirement.

Is this destruction of value or what? Gelsinger is turning Intel into Kodak (best case scenario) or Enron. So sad.

When do we expect ISP notifications to start ? I can't imagine it waiting till Oct 1st and notices may go out sooner. End date would be Nov 15th either way
