And two years later, Intel started to go downhill. All CEOs up to this point have been nothing but Wall Street puppets. Short term gain for long term pain. Now Intel has their own version of Sleepy Joe, Sleepy Bu. We have a CEO hiding in the basement and incoherent, wandering around, mumbling about playing basketball!! We need a true leader!

Andy was great at the time but you are right about no succession plan. His blind spot was thinking x86 and Windows should run everything. That PCs should always cost more than $1000 And that the cash cow and monopoly would last forever.
When are you people going to finally bury Andy Grove and let him rest in peace?
He hasn't run the company for 27 years. The world has changed by more than a little bit since then. If he were alive today and running Intel he wouldn't be doing it in the same manner as he did in the 1990s. It is just speculation on whether he would be running the company right in today's market.
Intel has this fixation with rear view mirrors. The past is history and it is not coming back. You need to be looking forward if you want to succeed in the future.
No Andy was the co founder CEO. Not regular CEOs that have no vision to just earn regular paychecks as everyone else.
LBT has yet to do a single push-up on stage as well for that we can be grateful.
hmm... 1998 plus 2 years is 2000. Isn't that the year we started to ship work to India? Might just be a coincidence with the start of failure. I am sure that there is no correlation.
Andy may have been great but also a failure in not setting a good successor plan
At least LBT is not blowing shiny bubbles, he is trying to squeeze bubbles out of Intel.
