Intel can't attract any CEO-material exec from outside, worth their salt. We'd have to promote from within. Is there anyone in ELT/ELT-1 y'all think is a capable leader that can turn this around in a crisis?

Intel is a hopeless case, we need government protection, we need chapter 11 asap to save what is left of intel
@1qyb that’s not true!! I have yet to find a tree stump that can string along 120,000 employees and even more investors and even Uncle Sam with false hopes!
@ccv all right Larry, time to stop posting your name on every thread here. Please go to sleep,gramps
He-l, I'd do it. At 1/100th the cost.
How hard is it to feel bad for decisions and quote scripture?
PG is like F-B - at this pont, anybody could do a better job. A tree stump could do a better job.
Who’s crazy enough to rake on that task…?

@ccv:
hang in there team
That’s the WHOLE POINT. We CAN’T because this is Pat’s turnaround now not ours. We are the CPM’d, if not this round in the next to come. Pat is no hero to the CPM’d no matter what Intel blossoms in to
Market Innovation or Legacy x86 !
Cost cutting MBAs don't innovate !
There are many without the understanding of the work involved in a major corporate turnaround. Ask Larry Culp. He started the effort in 2018. Dark days at the time. As of 2024 he is a hero. Many twists along that way also. Hang in their team. It will take a little time.
@c-m do you at least understand that layoffs CAUSE bloat? They’re exactly analogous to extreme calorie restriction binge purge diets where the weight loss os temporary. If you don’t then you are “out of your depth”.
@c-m: it is of little consequence if I don’t understand every gate that needs to happen for 18A to yield properly in a timely manner. The problem is that PAT doesn’t and he thinks he does (and apparently you do too). But if he did, he would be hiring, not laying off. In November 2022 when CPM 1 hit, Christy was asked if there would be more. She gave the non answer that the ELT understands the devastating effect repeated rounds of layoffs have on morale. Yet here we are with CPM 2. BK didn’t get us in this bind by passing on EUV; BK got us in this bind with ACT. Pat’s doubling down on the perpetual talent bleed shows he doesn’t know how to run the company
It is unfortunate that many (even on this thread) do not understand the significance of the work that must be accomplished. The progress is not in a straight line. Those who believe it to be a straight (over night) line are out of their depth.
@bih: that longy termy stuff sounds great except for the part about burning employee morale as the first step to recovery. Saving a few dollars on payroll in order to make everyone feel uneasy about our ability to hit commits seems rather…. Shortsighted.
No internal ceo material whatsoever
PG is looking long term. I think that many have short-sightedness. The bloating, product-missteps took years in making. PG and the board realize that the recovery (which will need to be on many levels) is not an overnight process.
No
Keep what everyone wants and cut what nobody wants. It's quite simple, really.
which is which then?
I hope he pulls it through. Any turn around would look more or less like this. Intel doesn't know who is doing what. Outsiders wouldn't know either.
In the old Intel legend, the founders cut the money losing DRAM business and the company thrived. It's the same thing now. Hope he has the courage to do it. Keep what everyone wants and cut what nobody wants. It's quite simple, really.
CEO and ELt needs to be fired. Bring Lisa Su.
