Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

LBT mentioned reducing the company to core activities, so MBLY likely gets sold.

This also suggests some cleanup of product groups, to be sold or shut down.

Intel Capital, Altera and Real Sense are already in process of being spun out and no reason to think that will change. Might even be sped up, as it seems clear enough that the current effort is to make the changes as quickly as possible, while getting the best price possible.

It is also claimed that the GF-UMC merger would precede some activity with IFS. My guess is that means the non-EUV fabs get sold or merged and IFS is split up then spun out.

Regardless, IFS is almost certainly going to have a historic restructuring, as others have previously mentioned on this site and elsewhere. Far, far fewer direct headcount, with many more contract workers and much smaller staff attached to a specific fab, so much more like other foundries.

Then IFS would be set to be spun off, but those changes might take a year or two.

Company is going to end up a similar size as AMD or NVDA, focused on a much smaller set of products. This is how failed conglomerates end, and they always eventually end.

As expected, the hits keep on coming.

Could go on like this for a while, so try to get used to winning.

TD/TMG/IFS/CMO/Pkg is garbage. Lay off 50% from them and close Folsom/Haifa/Petach Tikva/Kyriat Gyat sites to save $$!

IFS has been a disaster for years and years. Intel needs to kick it to the curb!

@aa+1j If they can use divestitures to reduce debt that will greatly strengthen the company.

Hard to make capital investments when there are so many diverse needs and so much debt, and divestments improve both things.

MBLY is the cash cow and could get a bidding war going and get us a good return. This cash infusion along with the memory company 2 billion we just received can go a long way.... especially after we cut about 30K employees. This will make us lean and mean and let us keep with the scaled back foundry plans. LBT does need to bring in some rock star talent as well as bring in a few new leaders to succeed him....since he is nearing a real retirement:) hold on, because right after earnings you will see a lot of big shifts happening within Intel......Go team Blue!

@a3+1j These are all valuable assets.

More valuable than being a troll.
