Fewer green badge openings
There used to be a lot of green badge positions in Hillsboro, Oregon. Seems to be very few now. The few that are posted also only available through Indian companies such as UST Global. Hardly anything from Kelly IT. I take it that most green badge... — read more
Losing on the modem front
Looks like Qualcomm is kicking our behinds when it comes to modems in non-Android smartphones. I could try to pretend I'm shocked, but in all honesty I stopped expecting better a long time ago... — read more

Virtuous Cycle
It was hilarious watching every exec and subexec (including Sr PEs and Fellows) in my group parrot "virtuous cycle" as soon as BK uttered it in 2016. BK himself never repeated it after 6 months. What a shameless sheep flock. Personally to me, it was... — read more
Root cause of problem at Intel
If Intel CEO wants to read. This is from a 30 year hardcore chip veteran who retired. Long ago there were real engineers who knew the entire silicon product cycle from architecture to design to fab to assembly to test and then high volume... — read more
The $25 Million Man.
Will he stay very much longer?
Previous CFO
Stacy Smith left the company as of January 1. Typically when an executive (former cfo ) leaves we hear later where they went and what they are doing. Stacy is relatively young, still of working age. Does anyone know what Stacy is doing now? Is he... — read more
This is too true
Has anybody seen this before? Have there ever been truer words spoken (typed?) Most of employers today are ideally looking for an employee: who has the wisdom of a 50 year old, the experience of a 40 year old, the drive of a 30 year old, and the pay... — read more
Congratulations to Skylake!
Longest running CPU architecture in Intel history, 3 years going on 4. Cannonlake never saw the light of day, as predicted. Icelake in 2019? I wouldn't hold my breath.
The Nuremberg party was once again ridiculous
Every year, Intel embarrasses itself by hosting a ridiculously low-cost party in Nuremberg. You really have to see it to believe it. It‘s truly shameful. This year, they tried to make it look better, but it was still the same sh-- in the end. My... — read more

50th anniversary!
During the past 5 years BK, MR and especially ACT completely destroyed and dismantled the traditional Intel culture and value system, meritocracy, etc. and decimated the company. Today, at its 50th anniversary Noyce, Moore and Grove would not... — read more
Intel Is at Risk From NVIDIA and AMD

Can we shut up about this anniversary now
The entire cheap skate thing has done my head in
Forty Years +
I recently saw a posting from the intel alumni group saying there are only 39 remaining employees worldwide at Intel who have been there 40 years or more. Many checked out rich, but in 100,000 it's hard to believe there aren't more pitiful souls who... — read more
How was YOUR party today?
Please share your observations...
Record quarter equals ice cream. 50 anniversary?
50 anniversary Equals a cup. Where did billions of dollars saved go? Bk mentioned they are saving for today's anniversary
Layoffs starting next week?
There's a lot of pressure to start layoffs next week -due to 50 year celebrations Intel has been delaying bad news -Q2 results next week, quarter was probably ok but guidance will be awful (or Intel continues lying) -new CEO will be announced -10nm... — read more

Are we vulnerable like this?
Who else thinks that this whole not having a CEO situation is making us vulnerable and is hoping it gets resolved as soon as possible?
If not Pat, them maybe Abhi ? Seems plausible
