How Intel Got Left Behind in the A.I. Chip Bo-m
Intel was for decades Silicon Valley’s dominant chip company. But missed opportunities and poor execution left it on the sidelines in tech’s latest gold rush.

It is not a surprise. 80% of Intel people are waiting for instructions and specs. They do not have much technical competence, no motivation for innovation. Most technical decisions are made my people managers, this is why Intel is so far behind.
Intel is so far behind of the competition that they are on their own now and can't see anyone and think they are the leaders
Evil only corrupts, it cannot create.
I would like to throw out a proposal that you can blame HR for all of this. Hiring terrible candidates for various roles for more than a decade. Or allowing promotions of people into leadership roles who have no business being in such a position. Essentially the created a overall team that just can’t get the job done and we coasted on older teams success for too long and ran out of runway.
Intel has devolved into a "me too" company that's always late to the party and thinks that they'll be the life of the party once they arrive.
