Forget the Axe... forget the Musk Chainsaw... it's going to be Massacre
Once TSMC gains 100% manufacturing decision making at IFS, and installs Asian headcount and productivity metrics... it's not going to be pow-pow!... but brrraaaat machine g-n. Fully expect that over 50% of IFS blue badges will be gone within 12-18... — read more
Expect April 25th to be the day
Expect day after earnings to be the day or week after. June end would be last day for many
If the TSMC JV investment rumor proves out, they will certainly push for major IFS cuts.
Taiwan may never give them permission to do leading node outside Taiwan, and buying into Intel solves that issue. They then can move a portion of customers wafer starts to Intel, where the product is sold in the US. They would also be able to offer... — read more

Intel has spent $152 billion on share buybacks.
That is more than the entire value of the company currently. Imagine if they had bought Bitcoin instead of just fleecing investors. Even crooked Joe had to tell them no more buybacks for 5 years if they take the CHIPs Act money because the scam was... — read more

Panther Lake in 2026
https://wccftech.com/intel-panther-lake-core-ultra-300-cpu-launch-2026/amp/ Looks like late 2025 was a paper launch.
Expect New ELT Members Soon
If LBT wants to execute to his vision of a slimmer Intel, with hyper focus on 3-4 areas (PC, Server, AI, IFS)... he's going to bring in his own guys he trusts to execute his goals. Let's be honest... he can't trust anyone in ELT today who supported... — read more
Can we get Pat back?
This is going to be a disaster.
It's Liberation Eve
Be sure to spruce up your resumes and hang up your hopes and dreams!
LBT mentioned reducing the company to core activities, so MBLY likely gets sold.
This also suggests some cleanup of product groups, to be sold or shut down. Intel Capital, Altera and Real Sense are already in process of being spun out and no reason to think that will change. Might even be sped up, as it seems clear enough that... — read more

RTO WFH WHATEVER
Fun and games is long gone. Just another low paying job for a paycheck. Hiring. layoffs and people leaving on their own will be the new norm.
Layoff
If layoff coming then why intel is hiring? There are so many open positions and post on LinkedIn about hiring.
CP is missing
She pretty much dropped off from all company comms, but continues to post nonsense DEI woke news on LinkedIn. I hope LBT sees the damage she has caused.
Not everyone has faith in the new CEO

Has anybody been laid off while on vacation?
How is it done? Do they wait for you to return or do they contact you (or try to contact you) immediately?
When will the last x86 chip be made?
Now that we can simply emulate it faster on ARM?
Intel RTO Mega Mistake
I say this as a manager. It feels like what they are doing is grinding our teams beneath the heel of HR. Sure Amazon went through this. Other companies have gone through this. However it is well known that Intel pays substantially less than... — read more
