This crazy tagline indicates zero understanding of the semiconductor business.
A more appropriate tagline would be:
IDM will ki-l IFS and IFS will ki-l IDM
Pat should be fired ASAP

PSO was even better in failure and delusion.
Turned down Apple and the smartphone as that wasn’t going to ever be a big seller or worth it. Boy that changed the course of multiple companies and counties. Not many CEOs can claim that!
Sold off ARM as x86 and thing like Itanium would be the future. After all a billion installed x86 was going to assure Wintel dominance.
Next we got BK, after that we got Bob, now we got religious fanatical Pat.
Dang with a history four loser CEOs like that no wonder we are where we are, layoffs and failure everywhere while owning x86 multi billion profit guaranteed and squander a multi decade of technology leadership.
Heh heh. Anybody remember BKs “virtuous cycle” ppt?
The statement is indeed oxymoronic and nothing more clearly shows how Intel is led now not by a logical engineer using data and analysis to form a strategy but a fanatical zealot
