Long time Intel blue blood who left Intel a few years ago.
Pat has had enough time for a turnaround and if Intel is not restructured, its product business will get to a point of no recovery also.
I just looked at the updated quarterly results. Even Altera which was running at roughly $5B annual revenue when I was still at Intel is now at a $350M quarterly revenue run rate??? What the he-l is the excuse for that?
Lastly, just listened to the earnings call and Pat's answer to what is the root cause of the struggles was that he has realized that Intel was structured for delivering 'leadership' and not 'efficiency' and that now is the time to focus on efficiency. How does someone give that as an answer with a straight face? Because he has no clue what the right answer is even after 3+ yrs of being on the job.
Pat should be the first person to exist along with his full staff... plus one if not the most destructive employees in Intel's history that appears to still be on the books: Kaizad Mistry
