It’s Christmas stop worrying about your job, your future your company
Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas!
After you come back from your paid or maybe your very very long unpaid time off reflect on the sad state of Intel and broken IDM IFS strategy, but don’t worry now, go open up that gift of coal from Pat and the Executives. They will all do fine even though Intel will fail.
Nothing lasts forever in technological. Move fast or you become irrelevant or deceased. Look at Bell Labs/ATT, IBM, DEC, HP, SUN, Motorola, Nokia, Blackberry. The list of declined to deceased is long. Go look at all those executives they all did fine and are having great Christmas, hopefully you plan well and will too!
Intel big talking IDM and IFS falls into the list of going fast to extinction with fanatical Pat.
People like to point at Apple, Microsoft or AMD as examples of revival but look at how they pivoted. You don’t see Apple saying we are returning to our MAC nor Microsoft saying DOS/Windows baby! Those days are go be and no amount of execution can fix a broken strategy. Lisa didn’t double down on manufacturing and say hey we can beat Intel at technology and manufacturing. Each company made a big pivot. Intel sadly is going for the 90s when it is living in the 2020’s decade 30 years later.
Now you have Apple, AMD, Nvidia, Qualcomm, and others including their manufacturing partners TSMC and Samsung have created a huge virtuous cycle Intel can’t hope the beat or match internally. It is as big a competitive most as x86 was in the 80s and 90s.
x86, IDM and IFS are a broken combined strategy. It’s a strategy if embarked upon with commitment in the 1262 / 90nm days Intel could and would have been TSMC, AMD, and Nvidia combined. Sadly, arrogance, infighting, incompetence squandered it all and all hope. Now with a delusional and fanatical dinosaur thinking CEO has all but assured its extinction.
But regardless do have a Merry Christmas HO HO HO
