Arm license excitement
Sorry folks. Intel is getting arm license because Apple is forcing Intel to use arm in its modems. Intel can't ever manufacture its own modems without it.
IDF one big yawn and everything said tells me things are going to get worse and more layoffs are certain, LOL
" Moore's Law is alive and well" BK... really why than are there two more designs coming on 14nm and 10nm is slipping. If nothing beats the value of scaling than power/performance competitive advantage would be huge for intel to pull in 10nm not slip... — read more

Is Intel's current work environment unique?
Given the post about people abusing the system - coming in late, leaving early, cronyism, and postioning themselves to look good instead of doing a good job, is this unique to Intel? I get the impression that all large established companies will have... — read more
Non-disparagement agreement
Those of you who took the VSP or ERP had to sign an agreement to not disparage Intel. SO I hope you are not doing so here.
Worst part of being CEO ?? -Really
Intel CEO Brian Krzanich has led the company through some roller coaster times. He's navigating a declining PC market and admitting Intel missed mobile. He conducted layoffs, did a $16.7 billion acquisition of Altera, and got Intel into new markets... — read more

Tread Lightly When Considering Working for Intel - Fails All Three

My principal engineer, PE, leaves at 2-3pm everyday and my colleagues that worked really hard doing real work were ISPed.
PE and manager send emails on Saturdays and Sundays to pretend they are working 24/7. I really don't want to stay in this shi**y company run by HR goons.
