The full story behind xmm8160

This modem was never "pulled in". There has been massive slippage and incompetence. Both 8060 & 8160 were supposed to be the same design but on different process nodes. 8060 on Intel 14nm and 8160 on TSMC 7 nm. Both were suppose to be tapped out last... — read more

Moving products to TSMC

Intel needs to start moving its mainstream products to TSMC ASAP. Once a good engagement with TSMC is established, they must spin off TMG. There is no other option. This will immediately drop the market cap in half. No CEO would want to take this on... — read more

Two CEOs?

There's a big change coming, and the obvious thing is to split TMG/TD and the product groups into separate companies, as AMD did with Global Foundries. That means two CEOs. Nothing else explains why it has taken the BOD so long to replace BK. I... — read more

Intel is in a trap of its own making. To switch major product designs to TSMC design tools and process is a 3-5 year effort.

Until that switch happens, it cannot abandon TMG. IT means Intel has to run a parallel design effort for a long time, as older existing products go through steppings and tweaks, while keeping TMG alive in case the second design team cannot make... — read more

Strategic silence

Reminder: Just because you see something dumb or wrong on the internet doesn't mean you have to amplify it by pointing out how dumb or wrong it is. "Strategic silence" is often the best way to personally combat misinformation.

So, how long do you think this can continue?

How long can Intel go without a CEO? At least not an interim one. I'll be honest, I was certain we'd know BK's successor by now. It's a bit surprising it's taking them this long to find an adequate replacement (God knows it can't be difficult to find... — read more
