Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Knights Landing and AVX512

I should add, since I worked on it for awhile, that the Broxton system on a chip (2014) project planning, management and execution was soooooo bad, that it made all other Intel endeavors seem like pure genius in comparison. It didn't make sense when I interviewd, but I needed the gig and jumped in. Less than a year later i knew what a total disfunctional lost cause it was and bailed. It sucked beyond belief and for me was the death knell of Jones Farm; no small thing.

Why the he-l isn't BROXTON (soc) on this list yet? :D
