Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Call corporate services koolaid has run out

From circuit:

I'm curious will we have the heart to see it through? Previous examples: Xscale - ARM - Sold off. Intel Play division - 1st web tablet years before Apple. MP3 player, microscope, and .... You can still by that microscope today from Tasco. Intel Media division - We were going to offer customized programming offering. Billons spent and sold off to lowest bidder. Intel Atom Cell / Tablet efforts - Almost broke through only to be killed off right when we were on the cusp. Asus Zen Fone 2 is/was awesome! Intel McAfee - We were going to revolutionize the world. How much of our original investment did we see out of this purchase after setting off part of it? Intel Basis Peak - Failed attempt at wearables. Watches were GREAT and the next gen looked even better. Millions spent on recall due to thermal issues. Intel AI group - Will we have the heart to see it through or waste billions only to sell it off at a loss. (Jury is now out!) I hope we are serious about this venture and can make a win with true ROI.

Yeah, Doug could have really retired but BK pulled him back. Now he has the impossible task of saving Intel in the midst of the most visible gaffe ever, and it is simply not possible to succeed given the variables we all know.

Another legacy, scuttled beyond repair.

Billions on IoT, AI, driversless cars.... what isn't obvious there is no driver in the corner office at Intel.

TSMC and Samsung opened a can of whoop a$$ on TMG.

AMD running on inferior process node with fall smaller design budget creates competitive chip and will sell for far less than Intel.

Apple with small design team delivers leadership ARM

Let's not start on all the other design houses.

Intel overwhelms with 10x more engineers and kicks out a competi e part at 10x cost.

Monopoly walled x86 garden has crumbled and thus more ACTs a coming.

Feel proud of what Intel once did. Nothing to feel proud of what it is now or what the future looks like
