@2lgk I see your "Intel Edison and Minnowboard Max" and raise you a Intel Wireless Charging Bowl, Drones, Basis watch, and of course, Will.I.Am
@xnz+ I still have an Intel Edison and Minnowboard Max, both were terrible compared to Arduino and Raspberry Pi and both are worthless today.
"People are finally realizing how truly terrible BK was. Not just as CEO, but also as head of TMG."
I've been yelling this from the mountaintop since 2017. For as bad as BK was as a CEO (And he was really bad), it was his absolute bungling of Intel's manufacturing leadership that was BY FAR the worst aspect of his career at Intel.
He was handed the keys to the best manufacturing processes and practices in the industry and he took that, drove it in to a ditch, set it on fire, then salted the earth below it to ensure that nothing ever prospered again.
Andy Bryant pi-ping for this disaster also should never be forgotten.
@xnz+1rnaFbBe. One major mistake of BK was to hire MR, who destroyed the wireless and other businesses.
"Intel has been on the ropes for a number of years now. Despite booms in semiconductor demand driven by the covid lockdowns and more recently, in the AI datacenter, the company failed completely to capitalize on these trends while profitability has actually been heading south."
Yes but they have political connections.
This zombie can continue walking with more government handouts
which are incredibly easy to print up.

I would comment if not too busy making bank
And in the last paragraph of the same section of that article:
Overall, it’s obvious that Intel was extremely poorly managed during these years and if CEO Krzanich had been there for much longer, I think the business might well have fully collapsed. However, a new hope is starting to emerge as Intel’s new management is extremely capable. Not least CEO Pat Gelsinger who has been reorganizing the internal incentive structures, for example by introducing competitive market forces to the various business units to improve decision making, optimize spending, and drive innovation. While Intel isn’t out of the woods yet, all indicators are now pointing in a positive direction and the company should at the very least be able to put up a much better fight versus its competition. On the positive, shareholders are also getting the optionality on a world-class foundry being built which should be able to compete with the likes of Samsung and TSMC in the long term.
It would have been interesting to see where Intel might have been if Gelsinger directly replaced BK rather than wasting 2.5 years with Bob Swan's leadership.
From the article...you had me at the first paragraph...no reason to read further...Pastor P. is MIA....I wonder what part of the world he will report from this week...lmao
