Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Moore’s Law pushed asides by Morris’ Law

“Without strategy, execution is aimless. Without execution, strategy is useless.”

What is Intel’s strategy these days?
What is Intel’s execution these days?

I remember when Intel used to have a strategy and executed it like tick tock clock work and was the envy and fear of everyone. There wasn’t anything that they probably couldn’t have done with their leadership, profits if only they had a strategy.

The MBA, bean counters and marginal managers and technologist rose to the top.

We worked 7 days a week, no detail was beneath a senior VPs to review and approve. Execution was king and strategy was neglected and here we are a few years later with no strategy and no execution.

We out sourcing or are we not? IDM is a great strength or isn’t it ? No body can seem to make up their mind. Should products be designed internally on 7nm and 5nm, will they ever see the light of day, hey maybe we should outsourcing them, oh what should we do?

You think the engineers all the way to senior VPs and fellows are wondering, don’t worry keep working we will figure out the strategy shortly.

No wait a minute, I'll take that back. The strategy is to pinch every last penny. That's how you keep that sinking stock price afloat and maximize those exec bonuses before dumping and bailing out with that golden parachute.

For strategy, think it's always been throwing random c-ap at the wall and see what sticks

Once you (Intel Design Team) go TSMC, you never go back to Intel process. Just ask the Ethernet, super computing, machine learning and SSD guys.

Top avoids to make career ending decision
so noone is accountable for the wrong decisions and mistakes
this is how Intel operate, decision making is always grey area

I'll summarize.

TSMC >>>> Intel fab
AMD, Nvidia >>>>> Intel design
Technical Talent and execution >>>>>> Diversity theatrics
Those companies' stock prices >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> INTC
