Next altera. Wait for next three years . This will be proven correct
Bad managers
It doesn't matter if you have rock stars within Intel . If you don't promote them . Give them direction . These rock stars will jump ships or perform poorly . But these bad managers play politics , favoritism . Have deep nexus with HR. Self promote themselves .
Bad managers are typically not technically competent . They survive with politics and favoritism
Low morale :
no promotion . Every man for himself . No collaboration . Steal others work or findings . Politics . Favoritism . Very very bad way of focal process
NO VISION AT TGE TOP
Intel is screwed
So many missteps outside PC processors since 2000. First was the failed diversification in the 1999 – 2002 in communications boom.
Then Intel made a massive splash at CES in 2004 with a technology called LCOS for digital TVs, only to kill it later that year.
And of course Intel tried once and failed in mobile, selling off its XScale division to Marvell in 2007
