I evacuated Intel in 2018 luckily. My experience in Intel CCG (aka PCCG) from 2011 to 2018 was just a disaster. BK looked down all the time CCG, like "PC is over" "We don't need PC" "Look, teams else CCG earns 60% of revenue" "We don't make dGFX". MCG, DCAI (DCG), IoT, FPGA, Autonomous Driving - all business he invested were gone and done. The factory he came from struggled to lamp-up 22nm - 14nm - 10nm, loosing Apple business. He ran Intel Foundry Service, which was miserably failed at the time. Patt just tries to recover from there. Good luck, folks.

The path to he-l is paved with good intentions.
He is on the job for more than 3 years. What do you rate his performance? An A or an F ?
Stop making excuses for Pat. He makes a very pretty penny and he has at the helm for almost four years. The defects in 13/14th gen and the current mess with the stock price are all on him!
It doesn’t matter who is at fault on how we got here. The question is does Pat have a path forward to get out of it. The answer to that is clearly no.
Pat was always bent out of shape with testing and pushing out release schedules because they were finding bugs in the hardware and code making the engineers look bad. Quote: “What do we need all these validation teams for” Well…let’s look at the current Intel Core 13th and 14th gen and decide how competent Pat really is. Reputation is EVERYTHING! Good luck with that.
Pat is accountable.
He’s been there for 3.5 years.
How can he not see 3 months out?
Their forecast from April was laughably optimistic.
He is making promises to investors that don’t pan out.
Tell us OP.
What metrics count as success and ok what timeline?
Why should we believe Pat when his forecasts are so BAD?
Enlighten us.
You can’t hide behind BK after 3.5 years on the job making promises l.
Hey Pat - what was for dinner ? Did you enjoy eating sushi off CPs na--d ugly body?
Hi Pat!
