RIP Intel.
The next biggest failure in tech history following Kodak, Blockbuster. RIP
@4ki: Not if you look at its balance sheet.
Intel will be around for many years to come.
So true! Intel reminds me of the old joke "we lose money on every sale, but make it up in volume."
If unit share mattered, Intel would be much more highly valued than AMD.
What actually matters are profits and growth. AMD is correctly focusing on the high margin growth sectors in the data center.
Chromebooks don’t generate any meaningful value.
The reason Intel has the Chromebook market to itself is that no one cares about it - there is no real money in cheap sh-t devices. It's all in AI HW, and Intel's "MSS" (ha-ha-ha) there is exactly 0.
"While AMD’s x86 market share in the PC segment grew slightly in the second quarter from the previous three months, Intel’s share of 82.7 percent was 6.4 points higher than it was a year ago, largely thanks to ‘significant growth in entry-level mobile CPUs that are primarily used in Chromebooks, according to Mercury Research."
- 7% market share!!!!!!!!
Intel not being insanely profitable is a problem with senior management, not the business model. Intel is still turning out decent products and applying commercial leverage where its products are not as great as the competition.
Pat was not the right choice to lead Intel through this period, you need a CEO who is objective, not reminisce, Intel will never be the monopoly it once was. Frankly anyone with more than 15 years of tenure at Intel needs to be cut out of the org, you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Pat missed the opportunity to spin all the networking cr-p out of the org.
Pat should shut down NEX and fold those teams into DCAI and CCG.
Pat needs to figure out why we have VPs with 8 direct reports and Senior Directors with 2 direct reports. Flatten the org.
Pat will be gone soon and Intel will be very different but just fine.

"How can Intel compete with this level of innovation?"
By asking Newsom for funding under a "Burger ACT".
"McDonald’s is testing the double Big Mac here in the Bay Area.
How can Intel compete with this level of innovation?"
Probably only engineers will be able to buy it too.
They will sell it for $30.

How can Intel compete with this level of innovation?
@pvv+1r0sXVGA Then Intel marketing would try to sell the hamburgers to vegetarians.
How do people afford anything with this intel salary? I can barely afford groceries. Do intel employees have to go into debt to live with an Intel salary? The inequality between management and workers is getting too damn high at Intel.
The best headstone on Intel's grave would be a PPT slide on the "Intel inside" background featuring the list of all the hot air business disasters - Itanium to IFS and everything in between - that lead to its demise.
I remember Andy Grove saying: "PPT is Intel's vomit."
That is still true.
The menu would be a large PowerPoint.
Listen, Intel is the ONLY company in the world that would open up a hamburger place and hire 90 managers and 10 cooks. The menu would take YEARS to develop and then only offer hotdogs.....the past is proof that this company IS DONE...
Intel should start selling burgers.
McDonald’s has a larger market cap.
Using our innovation and historic importance, we feel confident that we can successfully penetrate the burger market. If we lobby the government for funding, we should be cost competitive with McD in just 5 years. In fact, we will leapfrog them in 4 years given enough funding.
Let’s work together to make Intel great again.
So take a package if you can
one can dream
They will cut and dice Intel and sell the pieces wholesale, after they fire 50% of staff.
You heard it here first.
