Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

It's a reminiscent to the part in Spinal Tap where the guitarist boasts an amplifier which goes up to 11.

Hey Intel, you've failed in 4G, what do you say for that?

Well our's goes to 5G!

How does Intel become an expert in 5G.. buy there way in? Even their 4G was bought and manufactured outside! YOu think being absorbed into the intel system will make that team better. The only thing Intel does well is x86.

We will see in a year, it isn't like the real 5G experts aren't also after that golden goose. All Intel has is money and a track record of failure in mobile where they aren't a monopoly that others can't compete.

That's not mobile - that's wireless. A sensor attached to my air conditioning compressor, for example, isn't moving -- it's in a fixed location. It's convenient to use cellular radio to report data (versus running cat5 cable to it).

A sensor on my car engine will move. It will use cellular radio.

Ergo, wireless is useful for fixed and moving applications.

But that's not really what people mean by "mobile" now is it -- smart phones and tablets. Or, where the money was.

What does that leave as mobile? A Fitbit? Yea Intel, good one.

@bns nailed the speed issue

INTEL will maintain its leadership during the transition to 5G technology, or the next generation of faster connectivity. INTEL is not exiting mobile but expanding the definition to encompass everything necessary for the coming explosion of connected devices — 50 billion in the coming years by some estimates.

50 billion devices armed with 5G technology. Something like 150 Mbps uplink, and 650Mbps downlink (Snap Dragon 820 data), for the edge devices which mostly require few kbps. And INTEL miserably failed even 4G and LTS...??? What kind of weed this "leadership": BK, MR, SS, AE and DB are smoking? :-)
