Let's run this place old-school from the bottom up. Ignore the fancy lifestyle management and leadership. Let's build quality stuff that people actually want to buy. We all know the PC will never make a comeback. Make it understood that we will no longer place effort on products with unrealistic schedules that leave no room for success, products that won't be marketed properly and the stuff we all know will fail. Let's remember what Intel is about. Work for the love of technology, not the love of money.

I can guarantee that the folks in the labs knew that discrete graphics, ARM processors, and IT hosting were going to fail way before they were all late to market and lacking features. They probably could have told you early on with the first of many roadmap "adjustments."
We need to go back to the basics. Ask yourself: How were computers built thousands of years ago? How did they do that?
Nice comment bruh... Here's business action for ya: Do a survey of the people who work in your labs. Would they buy the sh*t they are working on? Are they just working on the a flavor of something that's already been done? Are they encouraged to bring ideas for cool new technology that they want to work on to leadership? You'll be surprised at the answers you receive.
Intel tried to break out into another area on the PC platform (discrete graphics — failed) and tried a similar product on a different platform (ARM processor — failed). IT hosting? Failed. Novelty products like drones? Failed.
We’re stuck in x86 jail and have yet been able to escape. This is probably why they are trying FAAS (fab as a service) — with overall demand for chips up over the long haul, the thinking is we’ll at least get some spillover business. Time will tell.
"Let's build quality stuff that people actually want to buy. "
Whatever that is, you can be sure that there are millions of younger, smarter, harder working, better funded, more agile competitors seeking the same thing.
nice speech bruh.. Now take your visionary vision and reduce it to actual business actions you would take.
