@eb I think you are right in about the fate of Intel.
@cn aka the don’t believe troll: thank you for demonstrating you are an id--t. Since the parts continue indefinitely that is not a year. I always knew you harassed people based on stupidity
If not 2025, then 2026
Just like Motorola Semiconductor Product sector got divested and became Freescale. I think Freescale was bought by Blackstone. Same thing is going to happen to Intel Fabs. Just wait and watch the progress. Do not worry about the time frame.
@e0 USSMC ! * Manufacturing
USSFC: United States Semiconductor Factory Company
The name Intel will still be around, just like the name IBM is still around.
But the Intel as we know it in the last several decades won't exist. There will likely not be an Intel that both designs and manufactures. Also that Intel won't likely ever make the most advanced cutting edge technology again.
Here's a wild prediction, take it with many grains of salt. By 2026, foundry becomes independent entity, sort of an American tsmc. It will also change name, not Intel anymore.
The design and product will be sold to Qualcomm. Intel gets dismantled, the brand disappears
It was 2016, and I am not joking
2030 slow spiral death
I don't believe OP realizes that Option #4 is not a year.
- IFS will be sold or spun off. Products group will be taken private for a later IPO or sale.
Won't exist at the end of this year.
Year 3978

By 2028, only a small Intel Products group will exist of maybe 20 to 25K employees. Intel will be completely out of the fab business so no more manufacturing. This will be sold off over the next several years just like IBM, AMD and Motorola.
