It is doomed. No one seems to want to change their mindset of how to operate.
If they would actually change how they approach this change, they might actually have a chance to survive.

Here is what it takes to win in foundry business, what is your honest assessment of Intel in each domain:
- Service Orientation
- Breadth of nodes, design kits and standard industry flows
- Doesn't have competing products or business lines to fab customers products
- Low cost provider with competitive wafer pricing
- Trustworthy CEO who is stable and won't anger customers with severe bloviating.
Whole Intel 8s ruled by Ind... nepotism
Led by a bunch of clowns and filled with ICs who have no idea what they're doing and just resort to giving excuses
biggest IFS joke: "Validation as a Service"

@uam World class leading edge buffoonery
Star Trek IV IFS style:
Scotty: I’m sorry cap’n we lost the whale. Earth is now doomed
The end
Of course IFS will fail. Intel can't even make their own products - TMSC makes ALL of Intel's most advanced products because Intel doesn't have the ability to do so themselves. Pretty hard to sell manufacturing prowess you don't have, at twice the price of your competition...
Intel is run by a bunch of schmucks
I think most people recognize that things need to change. Layoffs have been looming over some of us for months though. I don't really blame people for not wanting to challenge things where livelihood is at risk.
is it possible that we have a few customers and they are running them as "roomed " projects ?
Yep, the supporting teams also run like a government org... Literally had us sit there for weeks with now work until mfg and finance could agree on project valuations.
OP nails it.
One of the primary reasons I took ERP and bailed. No one wants to operate outside of the norm and get things done.
Survey says...Yep
