I'm not sure if it's more funny or sad that people believe Intel will once again reclaim its former glory. It's too late. There is too much water under that bridge. Years and years of mismanagement and poor decisions have taken its toll. We are at the point where we are no longer a leader but a follower in the industry and it's going to stay like that. If you stop dreaming about the good old days and accept the reality you'll be much better off in the long run.

@3xsr+18zd7Nh9 Sadly they current leadership didn’t know or experience Grove leadership and also sadly not capable to put it to work, and viola you have the decimated and rot that is Intel now
What i find disheartening is when senior managers apply Andy Grove wisdoms to today's Intel.
AG has been gone from Intel for over 20 years..
Just like Motorola, Nokia, Real Audio etc, once they lost the lead there was no come back.
Seems really risky for all these companies to bet the whole farm on TSMC, hope they don't screw up like Intel did
Yes a company on the decline due to poor decision making and lack of foresight including risk taking. Happened Digital by not seeing home use of computers and many other leaders in their field in their day. Not getting into phones was intels Waterloo. Advise to others is be open to move. HR position it as a stick but look on it as a carrot. Hopefully a parachute out the door and into another place. Don’t fear the unknown. Look on it as an adventure. Also Time In grade is the new low stock.
What is the value of Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and Nvidia, they draf over intel and can now outspend intel on design, validation and test of their custom product .
10 years ago Intel was the Goliath and feared with scale and technology leadership.
Now all the other companies are bigger and can go to TSMC or Samsung which have superior technology and scale to do customs products.
An Intel inside PC or cloud is about as technological amazing as the hardware powering your ATM, boring and pays the bills but not much else.
Thanks Andy, PSO, BK and BS for the fall to mediocrity.
What an irony. Your post doesn't add anything informative either.
It in fact adds cynicism to this forum itself.
I haven't seen a truly informative post on this site in weeks, just the same old regurgitated cynicisms.
The industry is moving in a new (if not strange & unexpected) direction, that is for sure. Maybe x86 PC's will consolidate and companies like Dell & HP will merge and buy out Intel (or AMD).
If Intel had kept the pace, and actually still created CPUs are great as it once did, none of this would be happening
You’re absolutely right. The Apple and Intel divorce, Microsoft is also copying their strategy of making their own silicon. Does anyone realize how dangerous these moves are to the rest of the hardware industry?
Guarantee you that we will see other tech companies like HP/HPE/Dell etc. will provide a separate SKU for their own silicon, lowering volume for Intel’s sales. Then if that’s successful, they will abandon Intel.
I don’t know Intel did to piss off Apple, but it sure as heck endangered the entire industry. Thanks a lot, Intel. Now I’m really looking forward what x64 Arm architecture is capable of.
