Just heard one of the manager talking on the phone. "Your interview is cancelled, because we are kind of on a hiring freeze. But you still can come to Portland, your hotel and car are paid for. But we won't be conducting interview".

Intel doesn't have any in house experience. And so it ends up hiring top dollars to hire people from renowned wireless companies like Qualcomm, Broadcom etc thonk ng its getting the best talent from those companies. Reality is that Intel ends up... — read more

Did the workers on such sites/groups (Columbia, DPT ...) Already received official communication? Or is just assumptions on size/projects/location?

Do you know where they design those iPhone chips?

Everyone has seen the downturn in PC spending coming for years. But the "holy crap!" fear that PCs are going away is absurd. Intel's revenues remain strong with declining PC revenue offset by servers and emerging IoT. Employee reductions could have... — read more

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/intel-ceo-were-cutting-jobs-143852938.html I feel sorry for the 100,000 employees that need a competent skipper. This guy has no idea what he's talking about. A not so good buzzword emitter.
