It's a drinking game. Every time some kiss asssays "virtuous cycle" you take a shot.

If they say "Accelerating Change and Transformation" you finish your drink.

If they say "Diversity and Inclusion" then they drink a shot.

It's a yearly cycle where people of virtue stay in the company and virtueless people are axed.

It means a cycle with a "positive feedback": More demand in clients require more server support and cloud services which in turn enable even more client capabilities and so on. Intel presence at both ends will result in growth.

@HEnMYdo-1ebc is correct, the "Virtuous" and "Vicious" cycles are concepts coined and designed by Robert Reich who is a lead economist who served in the Clinton Administration and now is an esteemed professor at Berkeley. Watch the movie "Inequality for All", it's all about these two cycles. I can't believe BK uses these terms at Intel and doesn't credit the creator. Takes "steal with pride" to a whole new level.

X86 was such a cycle, more and more units sold more and more applications for it. x86 has such a barrier to others to enter both for servers and clients. How did they get there , IBM picked them for the PC and the cycle begin. Guess what happened for cell phones, ARM has the same virtuous cycle and now a billion are sold, sadly that story intel played on the world and made hundreds of billions and now ARM made the same play on Intel, what fools the intel management was to get played like this

Google it. It's a term used by an economist in university of California. Basically means a cycle that leads to growth (as opposite to one that is vicious and leads to economic contraction such as what happens in a recession) . BK copied it without giving credit to where or by whom the term was coined

I think they are trying to say a cycle which is good, profitable, beneficial, desirable. I think in asia these qualities are being associated with the word Virtuous ?

My guess was it's the opposite of vicious.

Maybe they were thinking of 'perpetual' but someone along the line made a mistake and goes unnoticed?

Great observation. I wondered that myself. I thought it was literally a cycle of virtuousness, like a "perfect" cycle.
