Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

10nm and 7nm need more people?

Looks like someone else got 10nm already out and working.

Interesting times at Intel, going to be busy time in Hillsboro, how can they afford to lose anyone with the state of things and so many projects to do.

Apple has gone all in on the 7nm too. Isn't 7nm slipping at Intel, what is going on in Hillsboro anyway?

I remember the old AMD, first. To dual core, kicking Intels butt with older and far inferior process mode. Too bad they are gone and intel didn't have to be good anymore, look what happened, LOL

As to TSMC they already beat intel, Apple choose them as PSO was to arrogant to take their business and now they have a guaranteed customer for more units and steeper volume ramp than any intel CPU product, LOL

Reminds me of when AMD switched to using "Performance Rating" numbers to try and keep up with Intel.

We excel when there's competition, so far it just a lot of hot air. TSMC 10nm? I'll believe it when I see it.

Does Intel know what sells? Client, phones, tablets are all down. The only reason cloud is up is there is no competition. Where there is competition intel hasn't done well. More layoffs and cuts are coming to maintain margins as beyond cloud memory and IoT are lowest of margin business.

It all comes to selling the products. If the product doesn't sell there is no point on developing. So yes, product cancellations and to reduce costs you can't afford: lay offs.

More like tick tock tock tock tick tock tock tock. That's Intel's pace. Besides, there is no leadership or vision on where the company needs to focus on. Intel everywhere strategy isn't working as we can see.

"What's going on at Hillsboro?"

Probably a lot of dope smoking instead of working. Didn't you hear? As long as we legalize it and vote Sanders then life is perfect and nobody ever has to work again.

We need Murthy to sit on the chips. Like a human press. We could easily get to 2nm using this method alone

What will intel do if 10nm and 7nm are late, OMG.

They have Tick Tock Tick Tock it was going to conquer all it TMG delivered, looks like TMG failed. Who got fired for TMG failure?

Tick Tock the clock ran out and the strategy blow up! That means no new generation to make tansisitors fast and smaller. Means if they do another product on 14nm die size won't shrink, power won't be reduced, why would anyone buy it at the same price? Seems like biggest revenue generation machine has just run off a cliff, a perfect storm for TMG. But BK is TMG so the right person at the top to lead intel out, No?

I know TSMC and Samsung technology is not as good according to the Intel shrills, but Apple, Nvidia, Google all will move to next nose and get power reduction, performance improvement, battery life improvement and cost reduction thru die size reduction.

Tick Tock the clock is ticking for bigger layoffs I think!

The road map for Intel is a big road block with these idiots driving the short bus!

TSCM already announced they will release 10nm by end of this year, and 7 nm next year. Intel is behind.
