Don't blame the man, he took very tough decisions for intel and him

He did a good revenge to Intel this time. A lesson to learn.
He was not tough enough. It was very obvious for a few years now that Intel has too many employees. He should have laid off more of them last year and in a proper way. Not lose skills through overwhelmingly voluntary layoffs.
He accelerated Intel's decline by heavily leveraging the company with massive CAPEX spending on new fabs we can't fill.
@a6 I see what you did there
I’m Asian and some Asians love to gamble. Is LPT gambling?
He took a gamble
@ad Jim Cramer? The screaming stock guy? lol
LBT s showing what reality-based CEOing looks like.
Each CEO since Andy seemed to be trying to outdo each other in some alternate reality company, all equally infected with the disease of monopoly.
Pat only looks ridiculous because he was the last of that era, thinking the way to regrow the company was to get even more sprawling and unmanagable.
I suppose they could have brought in Jim Cramer to take it up a notch, but instead the Board chose to go the other way (for a change).
They may have started to get a feeling like maybe they were running the company into a ditch, and would lose their golden ticket if it actually failed while they were still around.
@ab not sure why you think it's just one person. Trust me, there are plenty of PG haters.
Looks like the PG Troll still wants to rant some more.
Sad, isn't it?
His predecessors certainly share a lot of the blame but Pat accelerated Intel’s demise
PG was totally out of his depth on AI.
He also thought larrabee could effectively compete with Nvidia?!!!
Just goes to show how magnificently clueless he was.
He was then hawking Gaudi and projected $500M in revenue which promptly had to be written down to $0 after nobody wanted it.
He also cancelled Falcon shores.
I mean. Just hire some competent outsiders and listen to them? This guy has no ability to judge the viability of technologies outside of x86 CPUs.
Instead of hiring competent outsiders, he recruited old Intel cronies with ZERO clue about anything.
The king of over promoting and under delivering. All hat and no cattle. Running his mouth like a fool.
He also completely destroyed the balance sheet and over hired during the pandemic fake-bo-m.
F that guy!
I blame him. He was out of his depth and he didn’t stay in his lane. 🖕🏻
