Intel Foundry Direct Connect 2025 DOG

We have no idea why but here's a random robot dog that can find an overheated industrial motor. Yay. No relation to foundry but it's got an Intel sticker on it.
WTF was that all about???

The robot dog operator said that they had a whole pack of these things, "one in every manufacturing plant."

That's not true.

Looks like another random “pet” project that if Intel execs had any sense they would have ki-led. Instead parade the dog on stage to what a cheap sensor could do. This is the management folks are supposes to trust to make Intel great again!! Waiting for lights to be turned off.

TSMC doesn’t have a fab dog.
Look out Taiwan! Intel is ahead!

More wasted money just like the HaloLens project that went nowhere, but someone is going to get a good focal for the toy dog project. So much cluelessness and bad optics going on.

Another example of Intel management's one hand not knowing what the other is doing. While the company spent a fortune on developing 5N4Y and building shells of factories they didn't spend anything on developing the business acumen to attract, onboard, and support foundry customers. Even if 18A turns out to be incredibly successful no one will use it for foundry because it is too hard to do business with Intel. What is really sad is that Intel has been in the foundry business for well over a decade and still doesn't have any substantial customers.

The message was clear: Use Intel Foundry or we will shoot this dog.

An example of a huge waste money in foundry? Could be done with NI-LabView and dedicated sensors.

Dog and pony show? If there was a point to having the dog toy there it was not adiquatly explained at the event. I felt very awkward and amateur.
