It is highly likely the company will need to spinoff several business groups to survive. TMG, itself, can be considered the "Deadwood" the OP is referring to. Intel's forte in chip mfg was to stay 3-4 years in front of the competition, thereby... — read more 

Ok, so I can agree that getting rid of some dead weight in a huge company like Intel is sometimes necessary, but the problem with ACT is that it didn't get rid of dead weight. I am a front line manager, so let me give you a little insight into what... — read more

All of the hating purgers who troll on the layoff are jealous that they no longer work for the number#1 technology company.
