Massive layoff in preparation for end of April
Preparation underway for a huge bloodbath by end of April. Preliminary internal numbers for the first half of Q1 are in, and the situation is much, much worse than ELT forecast. That explains the huge dividend cut and the preparation for massive... — read more
2 + 2 = 5
ELT said so. They’re writing history on TSMC’s used toilet paper, so you know you can trust it.
Remember Swan Song's "Path to 300" as in 300B in mkt cap?
INTC almost breaking below 100B. Right now 103B NVDA is 575B TSMC is 429B ASML is 246B AVGO is 241B TI is 154B QCOM is 140B AMD is 126B INTC is 103B AMAT is 94B INTC is much closer to "Path to 30" than "Path to 300." LMFAO GG BK BS PG
Intel Is Gutting Its Dividend. How Did It Fall So Far So Fast?
Intel (INTC -2.27%) recently revealed that it's resetting its dividend policy. The semiconductor giant is cutting its quarterly payout by 66% to $0.125 per share. That reduction ended years of steady growth for the dividend... — read more
Why the dividend cut?
Pat and David know what Q1 is shaping up to be and it is UGLY
How is Cameron working out for the Public Sector?
Curious as a lot of big tech are focusing in on gov work to get through the recession. If Intel can't bolster that business more layoffs would seem unavoidable

Dave's neck dance is fire 🔥
Dave never seizes to entertain us. Last time it was his sweater and today his neck dance. Which organization can provide you more entertainment than Intel.
The money exists
Pat and Christy chose to keep it for themselves. Never believe the lie that there isn't enough to go around.
Leadership culture at Intel
I once witnessed a high-level Intel manager refer to Intel engineers as "whiney lab rats" when he thought he was in the company of only upper management. He later became the CEO. That is the secret leadership culture at Intel. The absurdity of... — read more
PatG - technical debt
Glad to see Uncle PatG reducing technical debt at Intel like at VMware. Right in the toilet. Nice. Good luck to everyone!
Can people please stop exaggerating?
Why would anyone with actual talent work at Intel? Intel has been an amazing employer for decades before we got to the point where we are now. But even at this moment, Intel pays well and provides decent benefits. I understand the pay cut and... — read more
The road back
Intel is a walking dead zombie company. The United States’ road back to competitiveness in semi-manufacturing is to do what others long ago perfected: copy, cheat, and steal like a motherfuhker. Incentivize TSMC to bring leading edge nodes here... — read more

Good news for laid off employees
Companies can no longer silence laid-off employees in exchange for severance But the National Labor Relations Board this week put employers on notice that they can no longer silence laid-off employees in two very specific ways that the board says... — read more
Looks like INTC is the only loser semiconductor company. NVDA did great for Q4
$NVDA's Q4 results are in: 💵 Revenue: $6.05B vs $6.02B expected 💲 Adjusted EPS: $0.88 vs $0.81 expected 🕹 Gaming revenue: $1.83B vs $1.6B expected Thanks Jensen and Lisa for continuing to embarrass Pat and INTC. I think the CHIPS ACT money should... — read more
IPG spin-off happening?
I have heard many rumors of IPG being spun-off to Synopsys or Cadence. This explains the management change to KT because IBC was not playing ball. Anyone know more?
Intel is just fine
Long time employee here. Pat coming back received nearly universal optimism. I was so smitten I purchased 1000 shares at retail in the 50's and lost half of the investment. I guess that is like working a month for free. The most important thing to... — read more
Is the end of Moore's law a blessing for slightly lagging fabs like Intel?
How much better in real performance does the leading edge TSMC nodes have over Intel's? I have been out of it for some time. Just asking. Hope someone would explain.
Dividends
So ... First they take our bonus, then our salary, then our 401k ... And god forbid if you are still a loyal employee and holding shares which are cut in 1/3rd, you used to get some dividend. They took even that away. So employee totally... — read more
Prediction
If you look at Q4 margins….can they really get better? Profits are being sacrificed for revenue. It is a sign that there is too much inventory, but also a sign the products are uncompetitive. 2023-2025 will be the “great leaning”. But still... — read more
Transparency ?
Both the CEO and CFO faced the public and many questions about the dividend just a short time ago, why wouldn’t they come clean on then the dividend? Can any executive be thrusted? Do they really think TAM is 300M because of one executives... — read more

Alternative to Intel turnaround plan
If you can't manage manufacturing efficiently, spin it off or create a joint venture with TSMC (if so, TSMC will not need to build more fabs outside Taiwan and Intel still get a share from manufacturing). It will be good for both shareholders and... — read more

Intel OC6 Silence: Complying with police investigation or CYA tactics to defend against possible "wrongful death" type lawsuit
Internally, the company has issued only a very brief general statement on the matter and apparently has wiped away any electronic trace of existence of the perpetrator, Derrick Simmons. Given that Simmons had a past felony for as--ult with a... — read more
RIP Dan Foster -- a victim of Intel's hiring practice problems.
The big question is, was this just a simple oversight by HR in missing Derrick Simmons past criminal behavior (felony for as--ult with a deadly we-pon) during the hiring process? Or did they just turn a blind eye to it and if they did was the same... — read more
5% stock price drop due to rumored dividend cut
More layoffs needed to defend the dividend.
All of 2023 will be thinning of the herd
As a result of the pay cuts affecting everyone, many of Intel's most valuable resources will leave Intel once they have the opportunity to find another job. So, Intel's brain power will continue to decline, just when it is needed most. Someone like... — read more
Same issues year after year
I was trying to think of a few things that have improved here in recent years. When I look back, I don't see that there were any changes for the better. Instead of getting the company back on track, Intel is just piling up issues. Is it a lack of... — read more
Dummy managers
Person doesn't know the difference between a resistance and capacitance works as an engineering manager. Makes my eyes bleed. No wonder why INTC is going to the cleaners.
Question to EU folks about the pay cut consent.
Firstly, don't pay attention to the US id--ts who think the rest of the world has to be set up just like here, e.g. re: the EU pay cut consent requirement. But a question: in return to Intel not being able to unilaterally cut anyone's pay over there... — read more
