1) shed deadweight 2) produce more runway to stave off bankruptcy 3) generate lift We’re kinda at 2/2.5. The lift generation isn’t obvious yet.
Leaving Money on the table
Why do employees settle for less? CEOs and exec VPs making 100x-1000x times the average employee. Why do we make em’ so rich. I mean if a company makes net income per headcount say $10M for instance , it does not make sense an employee average... — read more
Rigid RTO and ADA
Has anyone ran into the issue of the rigid RTO and ADA accommodations for a condition where remote work is warranted?
Moving manufacturing into Intel's 10nm/7nm? That will pull back US companies to 10 years back?
Trump wants manufacturing to Intel or GlobalFoundry? Can Intel manufacture really make any for US companies? on 7nm, 10nm, 14nm?
H1B Executives.

Is this site mainly populated my factory mentality Fab guys?
I see all the comments like factory people working hourly about send them back to their country, unionizing, def met, eliminate night shifts and so on. Is Intel run like a factory by factory worker mentality?
Intel-Apple, Intel-Nvidia collaboration will slow down each company by 5 years. The capacity will be allocated to China's companies.
TSMC's capacity will be freed up to China. This will help China to grow its own CPU and GPU chips and to eliminate Intel later.

Intel is bullying other companies, by asking for 5B donation.
Intel is using Trump to collect 5B from every company. If the company does not give 5B, Intel will report to Trump to collect 100% tariffs on them. What a shame !
Intel approaches TSMC for investments or partnership, WSJ reports
Let's be honest... Intel may be asking, but Trump is standing close behind Intel with a giant club called tariffs and access make Nvidia, Apple, and Avago processors. Once TSMC makes an investment into IFS, and takes over it's leadership... IFS... — read more
Intel trading in the 30s
layoff done. investment coming in. back to the good old days. what do you think ?
Intel show playing politics is better than working on technology
Play politics, leveraging US government to stamp on competitors, use Trump to pressure other company to donate, tell lies while its own chips are not made by itself but TSMC. Just high talk and play politics can bump up stock 30%.
Why intel has 40K alone in US and keep R&D cost high
Why intel has 40K alone in US and keep R&D cost high Intel should have 20 in US and rest in low cost geo like nvidia and AMD

Apple is making $2000 smart phone. Why can Intel engineers and managers make a $200 cellphone? Let lay off all of them.
Nvidia to invest up to $100B in OpenAI... while Intel get's only $5B. Wonk wonk.
Chipmaker Nvidia plans to invest up to $100 billion in artificial intelligence startup OpenAI under a new agreement today. On the other hand, last week Nvidia is going to invest $5B in Intel. That's a 20:1 ratio... just shows you how much Intel is... — read more
Is the Layoff over?
I heard that it will continue in October and remain in effect until the end of the year.
H-1B or Gold Card message is loud and clear. These visas are for the elites.
Companies have been abusing the H-1B to replace US workers with lower-wage foreign workers. People holding a H-1B visa will now feel insecure and are now planning for an exit from the USA. They now have a target on their back from the US government... — read more
Nvidia’s $5B stake won’t fix Intel’s biggest headache, which is manufacturing losses

O1 visa and OPT - $100K fee as well
Trump needs to sign an executive order for O1 visa and OPT F-1 student jobs as well. This is like a loophole in the foreign work visa system. Now, instead of H1B visa applications, many companies will shift to O1 visa applications where there is no... — read more
Intel + Nvidia = India. Scary, will Indians break Nividia as well?
Indians occupied most of top management positions. Root cause of Intel’s failure. Good luck to Nvidia, to be converted to India. It is not far from corruption.
The Market has Spoken
INTC has dropped since the Nvidia stake was announced It’s because of the new H1B rules Wall Street knows we need out H1B’s
Why not L1 visa 100K . L1 has unlimited visas

What do you think about the future at GPU design team that builds both integrated and discrete GPUs? I always thought it is very safe. Does it change after yesterday's announcement?
It’s time for SK and his minions to step aside
This man is arrogance personified . Can’t take simple decisions because he doesn’t know what to do. AI group will in most likely hood be merged with DCG and the Si group with new external leaders in place .High time LBT boots this mo--n out.
