Just to see how this drama will unfold. Nobody’s really productive. Who would take this company seriously anyway? I’m doing the bare minimum needed not to be fired in order to stay. I don’t expect anybody at the top to suffer any consequences for the... — read more
Why isn't Pat fired or have pay cut with such a terrible earning results,
running the company to the ground with his stupid IDM 2.0?
No deal
Sorry to disappoint but there is no deal. But the bump in stock price presents a good selling opportunity. It is all going to be nose dive from here.
Let Qualcomm acquire us
Maybe they can do something with this place. They certainly can't do worse than Pat and his cohort. The more I think about this, the more it sounds like a great idea.
Qualcomm is the whale!
They are TSMCs top 5 customer. Pat wants to save the fabs…Qualcomm seems interested in only M&A scenario. It’s the only way to save the fabs….
What would Gordon, Andy and Robert Think?
So sad to see this fallen company.
You deserve better
I spent three years at Intel under a manager with zero leadership skills, having to deal with unrealistic goals and toxic team dynamics. It wore me down physically, mentally, and emotionally. I finally left last spring, and I haven't looked back... — read more
Prediction by end of 2026

Another weekend ruined
In the anticipation of another week full of stinky revelations, uncertainty, and the fear of losing a job elevated by the state of the tech jobs market.
As expected, no real information in Ann's TD townhall
Gave a number for the ISP target, but we all had sussed that already. No information about program reprioritization, what comes after ISP, what does it really mean for IF to be independent. Nothing. Business as per fu--ing usual, keep your head... — read more
Intel Cannot Split Until IFS is Close to Breakeven
Let's be honest... Intel is not going to be sold or have IFS spun off until IFS has real non-Intel Products revenue (2027). If IFS was spun off today, it would be closed down 18 months from now because there's not enough customer & revenues to... — read more
We are yet to discover how deep the rot goes
I know that at this point I’m stating the obvious, but it’s still astonishing. How come nobody checked Intel better before they were included in the chip govt scheme? I have been wondering about how the unraveling will affect the previously stated... — read more
Fire this bozo ASAP
Every day that Pat remains CEO things keep getting worse. This arrogant CEO has literally failed at every single thing he attempted at intel. He must be fired ASAP.
How Intel Fell From Global Chip Champion to Takeover Target

Would QCOM Pay More for INTC Than eBay Does?
If Intel fires everyone and sold on eBay, it would worth $20 a share. How much would QCOM pay? $22?
No update from the Messiah?
No update, comment or apology from Pat. I'm shocked! lol not really. Through ones actions/inaction you can see the true person within.
Dragging out this state of flux is very damaging
We know nothing - how long this will last, how many people will end up losing their jobs, how restructuring will look like, whether Intel will even exist in its current form in near future. Maybe there will be a spin off of foundry, maybe someone... — read more
Qualcomm buying Intel would be best for both companies.
Qualcomm gets access to our high tech foundry business while we get access to their culture and competitiveness Atleast they will come and fire these useless middle managers and 50% of these free loader principle engineers who sit all day and do... — read more

Intel shares pop on report Qualcomm has approached it about takeover
The End Is Nigh. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/20/qualcomm-reportedly-approached-intel-about-takeover.html
People around me are working hard!
Well, most of them are. Smart people and hard work. But I think we are working on wrong things, the focus is not there and it just feels empty. Poor direction
Anyone watch the SMG Live today?
They really need to work on their messaging. The amount of incompetence from a communications perpective and lack of understanding of employee morale is incredible. In the same breath he tells people they need to accept remote work because they are... — read more

Taking bets on what Ann says tomorrow morning
$10 says she repeats what Pat said in his email after spending 20min talking about Safety First and some meaningless OKRs. I will be flabbergasted if she actually mentions concrete numbers for ISP, project cutbacks or reprioritizing.
How do you think the spinoff will reflect on us?
This sure has to change some of the plans re: layoffs and restructuring? I’m not trying to give myself false hope here or anything - I would actually love to leave Intel and I’m working on it, but I’m wondering how it will all play out with respect... — read more
Keep the Intel situation from pouring lies into your ears

Pat is the best CEO
He's the one fixing the mess left over by previous CEOs. What better than to have a god believer man as CEO. He has always treated his co workers with utmost respect and considers them as family. Praise lord
Fabless vs Fabs

I was, and I wanted it badly. I’m hearing a lot of folks were rejected (can’t claim it’s true, just heard about it many times already and can see it on boards). I’ve been here for ten years, just wanted my payout and to be done with Intel forever. I... — read more
