The AI CTO and most of the product management team at Intel is a joke . All have survived through all the layoffs and the people responsible for the current abysmal AI story are again going to strategize and decide the roadmap …. RIP Intel , there is... — read more
No respect to employees
It does feel that company doesn’t have any respect to its employees especially in the foundry. Everyone’s so used to being abused and tired that they don’t notice much.

18A yield at 10%
Last year 18A yield was 5% now it's 10% with the critical production, intel is not profitable for the foreseeable. LBT brought in to dismantle intel piece by piece and into design like everyone else..TSMC N2 node is yielding at 90% intel has no... — read more

Job Roles
Why does Intel still have these job roles? What a waste Release Train Engineers Scrum Masters Communicators Reporters Administrative Assistants What else is missing?
90K Employees Currently - 15K more to get to 75K

Laser focus on my a-s

AMD on its way to being a 100B revenue company and Intel a 10B annual revenue company. Have they printed the HBS case studies yet?
Scatter Brained or Laser Focus
I actually wonder if LBT is really "Laser Focused" or just scatter brained. So far, all he has done is Say "Laser focus" on this, "Laser Focus" on that, yet, all he has done since he arrived is take people to dinner, Lay of 26% or the workforce, and... — read more

It is insane that Intel is selling NEX
They completely botched up their networking business and the guy who ran it to the ground was promoted and made CTO. Go figure.
