Too little, too late: Intel's legacy is eroding

The Register ^

I know how this works now for a company like this. They will slash and burn their workforce and the circle around the drain will flow harder. Intel is done.

Robert Noyce is gone and he is not coming back.

hard to play catch up when everyone else is hitting the gas pedal.

Dell will soon be selling workstations with AMD CPUs.

As long as all the employees and managers are checking off all the metrics set by corp, everything is good.

And yet my 10+ yr old processors handle text, audio and HD video just fine....

[Gene Eric]

The latest i9 is a formidable monster, but it’s a single socket CPU, and the Xeons are evolving at a sluggish rate.

[SamAdams76]

What does their diversity hiring record look like? This could be the problem.

[BipolarBob]

Look at the stock chart. Upper left to lower right. The company is hemorrhaging cash. I’m surprised to short position isn’t larger.

Noyce was a political type.
They need Andy.
Never count Intel out.

[Bikkuri]

I have been building AMDs since 1999. Never went back to Intel.
My only gripe, is when AMD bought out Radeon.. I am an NVidia user :P

Bingo. Sooner or later the DIE mandates result in the mongrelization and degradation of the workforce. Cave in to that garbage and the results are mediocrity at best. Checkbox hires are bottom scrapers.

It’s also hard to be profitable when people are pulling back on their purchasing habits. Walmart can attest to that fact, and so can thousands of other retailers and manufacturers, and even the mom-and-pop stores.

Perhaps when the recession is over and when inflation goes out of style, Intel and others can start to recover. But, there are many companies that made huge mistakes before the recession and inflation; those can go out of business if people don’t care.

They have reached the theoretical limit to the their chips, all chips. The 10 manometer chip is fine, how much finer can they get? It now becomes a race of new technology, integrating chips with unknown factors such as...........?? https://chemed.chem.purdue.edu/genchem/topicreview/bp/ch7/index.php

Ping.

[DuncanWaring]

I’ve got a recollection of hearing recently that TSMC is down in the 6nm neighborhood.

[Fungi]

True, and then what?

Only the paranoid survived.
