It just shows how leadership in the end always starts suffering from shortsightedness while indulging in previous success. Intel had a major predisposition not to miss out on anything new that’s coming or even being a leader in innovation, yet we failed on all fronts. It also shows that oversight over decision makers is not sufficient. I guess they have always been dazzled with short-time pay outs. It shows how it’s incredibly easy to run a robust company to the ground, without anyone even wanting to notice before it implodes.

Intel made a lot of scammers rich.
This is what happens when you sit on your a-s with an X86 monopolistic business. The culture rewards and maintains status quo while other companies innovate and start chopping at market share and take business away. X86 is a dying architecture. Good luck getting new customers.

To the old timers, the fascinating part is that it has lasted for so long.
Intel has always been a 2nd rate company. Knowing that, it focused on what it could do under Andy when luck fell on top of it. The so called "focusing" means neglecting everything, including building a good management team. The real work were done by the vendors when Intel had the leverage over them. It worked good people to death while promoting talkers, mostly Indian, so that they are "out of the way". It was no wonder that they become clueless when the luck ran out decades ago.
