Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Every day the future for Intel is getting bleaker and bleaker.

It is highly likely the company will need to spinoff several business groups to survive. TMG, itself, can be considered the "Deadwood" the OP is referring to. Intel's forte in chip mfg was to stay 3-4 years in front of the competition, thereby maximizing profits for every new technology it proudly introduced to the world.

Now it is behind, and falling further behind every passing day like a worn out thoroughbred in the homestretch.

Once it changed strategy to chip foundry, they are playing TSMC's game, and TSMC is dictating the terms and conditions. Intel cannot win since they had already lost that they were once good at. It's a done deal.

Good post, as others have said

Memory, FPGA, ARM, modems, those are cut throat business where cost and TTM are critical and Intel has NEVER been a low cost leader with a process that is easy for product teams to design into as witness by the absolute failure of foundry. If Intel process was so good they would have all sorts of customers but ICF with thousands of people have failed to land anyone of significance tells all about the huge structural issues. Lastly with the most expensive process and huge overhead worrying about every .1 DPW the whole culture and system isn't setup for the cuthroat business they now need to compete in. They will/are getting smoked by TSMC.

Intel is the IBM semiconductor business fast forward 30 years and will go the same fate.. limp alone and than disbanded and carved up and forgotten, regardless of past achievements these crown jewels have been terrible management by each successive CEO since Andy, sad.

Now TSMC will ramp 10nm and 7nm next year the process leadership and PPAC is lost too. TMG is a baot anchor to the big money made by the server business. The product teams if they could design in TSMC would be worth 30 bucks without TMG, TMG worth about 10 bucks a share split up at the most.
