Let's assume AMD captures just 10% of the client market from Intel. Intel generates $36bn in revenue here so 10% is 3.6bn. Intel has gross margin of 60% so this equates to approx $2.1bn of lost operating profit. ACT last year "saved" $2.3bbq. QED! If... — read more

Are they really closing FM6 - 3rd and 4th floor to save janitor cost?
I used to travel to FM for my previous team F2F. But just came to know from my previous colleague that they are closing 3rd and 4th floor in FM6 to save janitor cost. Is it really true? We dont have money to pay janitors now.

Hi, I just saw a senior director that became senior staff. Is this legal ?
I used to think TMG and silicon manufacturing was Intel's Crown Jewels, not anymore. All about BK and B$ now.
TMG seems to be happy slipping schedules with 10nm and 7nm slips. Capital investment fallling. If you are a TMGer the future is in Taiwan, Korea and China. http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1331492&
