Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Intel is not only going through a culture crisis, but an identity crisis as well

It doesn't know what it really is, what it wants to become and who is it really competing with. Is it a foundry? A design house? Is it competing with the top-tier foundries TSMC and Samsung? Mid-tier foundries like GF, UMC and SMIC? Are its main competitors AMD, Nvidia, Qcom and even Apple? This is what happens to a company when its manufacturing, engineering, business models and its very essence are all being simultaneously disrupted from different fronts.

Intel, you need to decide if you are going to focus on manufacturing or design. Spin-off the fabs and unleash design prowess by enabling full use of latest TSMC advanced nodes. Or forget about the design groups, prop up your fab tech and become a true foundry without any conflicts of interest with your customers. IDM 2.0 is BS, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Frankly, you should have made this decision 4 or 5 years ago. You are quickly becoming an obsolete dinosaur.

What are you talking about there is no identity crisis, Messiah Pat has said IDM and IFS baby.
All the employees and ELT are frantically passionate and believe in the strategy and mission!

Intel is chosen American technology and manufacturing company and will MAGA!

Will compete and beat AMD in client and Server!

Will compete and beat Nvidia in AI, graphics, driverless cars.

Will compete and beat Apple in laptops and desktop and likely cars too.

Will compete and beat Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft in server HPC and hardware acceleration.

Will compete and beat Qualcomm, Nvidia, Tesla and others in driverless cars.

Will compete and beat TSMC, Samsung, GF, and SMIC among others in silicon technology, and manufacturing.

We all know if you aren’t first or second you have lost, but Intel will win as Pat has said!

Oh even though Intel is behind in all will beat them all as Pat has learned at the legends feet and between OKRs and return to 90’s ways we will return to greatness!

@1x...3 years is plenty for Pat to run the company down to the ground

If they manage to pull off the IDM 2.0, they may very well separate the two parts. This would prove the fabs have a chance to stand on their own, and would be a good way to unlock shareholder value.

But, that is a big if. Assuming Pat is the one to pull it off, he has what - 5 years left as CEO?
