How long can this go on for?
How long are we going to have to function without an official CEO? If Intel is not capable of finding (or lets be honest - enticing) the right person for the position, then why not simply make it official and remove the interim from Swan's title?... — read more

Hipster Intel Employees
How are all of the new, young and best in class Intel employees doing? Any update on FAB 42? It is worrisome to me (just an investor and owner) that the only developments Intel has are the sale of Mcafee and a deal on gaming, and a few other... — read more

Scale Cost Init Econimics
Intel and US are losing the battle on Scale and very low costs. So many other GEOs are better just not in electronics but pharma, education, medical, energy, etc. Americans pay the highest cost for lower quaility. Its a huge loss
all this hoopla about ARM and 5G is just smokescreen....

Where do people go after Intel?
Are Nvidia, Qualcomm, Broadcom the only options in a bigger note?
Anyone read the SiFi book "Mother of All Fairy Tales"?
It's still on the NY Times best seller list.
All companies falter now and then. Intel will be back on track.
Can't wrap my head around as to why people want to see others lose their job. Yeah Intel has manufacturing issues but it's doing just fine with 14nm. Really high revenue and for all those doomsday folks, it won't go down to half of its revenue in 2... — read more
