Are you saying it’s saved because they elected a new Chairman? I don’t think so.

The guy that just left was responsible for Intel getting stuck at 10 and 14nm and nearly tanking the company repeatedly. He’s the Silicon Valley equivalent to GM’s Roger Smith in terms of boneheaded decisions.

Or, put another way, the guy that just stepped down was the guy that thought it was a great idea to separate the chip design part of the company from the silicon foundry or production part of the company, and he wanted to sell the foundries to the Chinese.

Which would make Intel a fab-less chip company and totally screw the entire country.
