My God, how many acronyms does Intel use?

For true engineers/geeks, that should be a red flag to GTFO way before this layoff happened. I remember interning for a similar big/bureaucratic company (HP). I thought I was going to blow out my brains. I've never worked a company larger than 400... — read more

VSP package is same as ISP, or even worse. Correct?
