Since this strategy will inevitably fail, if you hope to last to the end many of you will end your career being laid off and retire or scramble to another company or leave soon and avoid the sinking.
For decades Intel bullied AMD and kicked their a$$ while at the same time it actually miss executed and released many generations of cr@p and wasted untold of billions ( Prescott, Itanium, Tejas …..) and 100s of billions on misguided acquisitions. It continued to win x86 because it had the biggest scale and an ecosystem built to leverage that scale that hid all the terrible decisions, wasted opportunities and incompetent leaders.
This will be another case of innovators dilemma. The fall of Intel now is inevitable as they missed the moment repeatedly to leverage their fundamental scale and technology advantage to pursue transformation to a future business that was slowly disrupting their x86 wall garden. Same can be said about IBM!!!! Intel did make half hearted efforts to venture out of that walled garden examples with xScale, Manitoba, Foundry but sadly weak leadership and execution and lack of patience led to their failure and shutdown. Did I say innovator's dilemma?
Now the exact same things that led to IBM fall will be Intels narrative. Ignore the fundamental competitive landscape, industry ecosystems, and economics. Praying for more money and even receiving some small portion of the need can’t make a dent in the fundamental economic and business and competitive situation that Foundry and Apple, Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm and others present to Intel, really FUBAR situation.
Glad I left this $hitshow years ago. The future ending, last chapter is now all but certain with Pat. Most of it was all but written a few years ago, the only question is the amount of drama in the chapters being written now. It’s pretty clear now what it will be, my sympathies. It didn’t have to turn out this way Pat
