The higher management folks from outside have ruined the innovation drive and energy of Intellites. They have zero experience of running manufacturing and with design experience they will never be able to understand challenges in manufacturing world... — read more 

The article reports that it was stated from the company that the XMM 8160 5G multimode 5G modem will be available for manufacturers in the second half of 2019, which is six months earlier that it was originally planned. This news got me wondering if... — read more 

While this is an Ashraf article, and we all know what that means, info in here is taken from Swan's call, so it's actually worth a read for a change. During the call, Swan provided insight into some of the challenges -- he referred them specifically... — read more

Hi folks, with the news that TMG will start to outsource some of its manufacturing to TSMC, what steps can I take to potentially prepare for the worst (next round of layoffs)? can I reach out to HR? talk to a manager? I don't even know what else I... — read more

Intel needs to start moving its mainstream products to TSMC ASAP. Once a good engagement with TSMC is established, they must spin off TMG. There is no other option. This will immediately drop the market cap in half. No CEO would want to take this on... — read more

There's a big change coming, and the obvious thing is to split TMG/TD and the product groups into separate companies, as AMD did with Global Foundries. That means two CEOs. Nothing else explains why it has taken the BOD so long to replace BK. I... — read more 

Until that switch happens, it cannot abandon TMG. IT means Intel has to run a parallel design effort for a long time, as older existing products go through steppings and tweaks, while keeping TMG alive in case the second design team cannot make... — read more

Venting a bit here regarding raises and promotions - both are abhorrently inconsistent. What I see nowadays is that new hires often start at higher salary than people working there for many years. Now, add to that all the perks that keep disappearing... — read more

For the past few years, with so many mergers and acquisitions, layoffs, uncertainty - is it a good idea to start a semiconductor career?

How long can Intel go without a CEO? At least not an interim one. I'll be honest, I was certain we'd know BK's successor by now. It's a bit surprising it's taking them this long to find an adequate replacement (God knows it can't be difficult to find... — read more
