The current state of Intel is the result of our hiring policies
This is what happens when you decide to pay the lowest possible wages to new hires while expecting high-quality results. The fact is, if we paid more and got better candidates, we would need fewer workers. Instead, the management would rather hire... — read more

I just don't see enough ROI (return on investment) in turning the ship around anymore.
AMD Is Losing Ground to Intel in This Key Chip Market
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD -2.05%) and Nvidia (NVDA -6.58%) hold a near-duopoly in discrete GPUs. Nvidia controls the majority of the market with its higher-end chips, while AMD remains the persistent underdog in the lower-end market. However, that... — read more
Good strategy for Intel
Almost everyone believes that the company has the wrong strategy. However, rarely does anyone say what would be the right strategy!? Maybe it's too late now, but Intel needs radical changes in my opinion.
2022 in summary
we launched RPL, which is unimaginative iteration of ADL, even more hot, power hungry, and expensive to make we failed to launch SPR again we launched ACM after crypto-fueled demand collapsed, and it turned out to be unmitigated disaster in terms... — read more
This holiday feels like a wake
More than 20% of the companies non mfg jobs are being cut. Some points: If they offered voluntary cuts in the factory they would have lost a lot of folks they cannot afford to lose. If they offered the same package in the US as Europe…they would... — read more

Intel R.I.P.
Intel was once the standard, when it had a huge headstart and monopoly. They ditched meritocracy for D&I and progressive values. Now the engineering staff all WFH and forgot how to find the factory. The titanic is sinking…
Bankruptcy
Those who generally view everything very negatively believe that the company is heading for bankruptcy. Are there any serious, rational arguments that Intel could soon go bankrupt? That would be the worst case scenario and I don't think it will... — read more
Things will not improve
Things can't improve for one simple reason. It's getting harder and harder to find good talent these days. Add to that the fact we're constantly going through layoffs, and that becomes almost impossible. As a result, what we have at Intel after... — read more
New degree of micro-managing for Fab and out of fab roles
Has anyone else noticed an increase in the degree of micro-managing for Fab and out of fab roles? CWW techs (fab and ROC), engs, OMs, SGLs - anyone in CWW working schedule. Is this a new form of power abuse? The complaints are running rampant and... — read more
Recipe for success
Give me billions of $$$ but be patient because my “strategy” will take at least 20 years to work for the company 😂
Pat as CEO?
Pat was promising when he started, set the right tone, said right things, but then he implemented the strategy. Betting too much on fab, which has been the Achilles heel for Intel, not improving execution and blaming predecessors. Any other company... — read more

Worried about Intel's future
In the 20 years I've been here, I've seen the quality of new hires go down consistently. At first, it was probably because Intel refused to pay people who knew their worth what they deserved, but now it's mostly because the best are staying as far... — read more
AXG was a mistake
It was a strategic mistake for Intel to even get into dGPU space. GPU is arguably the #3 priority at Intel behind CPU and foundry. Where as it's #1 priority at NVIDIA and #2 at AMD behind CPU. What makes Intel think it could catch up to existing... — read more

CPM and MPP
Kudos to Intel for allowing CPM'ers with an MPP payout to change their term date to 12/30 (from 12/31). Resulted in a 50% increase in lump sum payout.
