At least Intel cannot layoff us Altera employees! PSG will continue to grow in HC while the rest of Intel suffer!

Very nice post, cvp! This all goes back to the head clown not having business experience and not having marketed do much as a lemonade in his life. He also hired a guy from Staples to lead marketing. What a joke. These people are so non-competitive with the real world which is why the lay-offs will continue. Lol.
A real test would be to let Altera, x86 and the chipset guys all freely choose where they want to go.
There would be a dog fight as they all want to go to TSMC for the better service and easier TTM
What do you expect????? It is not the old Altera anymore. It is now owned by this so called "will do just fine" compan - Intel.
The only question is how big will the writedown be?
Altera is getting their butt handed to them by Xilinx - they decided to go to TSMC 16nm-finfet. TSMC now has a huge lead shipping finfet products.
Altera is STILL floundering around on Intel's 14nm process.
2017 is the latest ship date (by the way this product was announced in 2013).
Altera threatened to dump Intel and go back to TSMC and Intel PANICKED and BOUGHT them.
