@R3GnieK-fod: by now PR firms must be on the hunt for a new cool sounding acronym and a new story spin to explain all this.

Any remember the "Virtuous Cycle" spin? The only Virtuous Cycle we seem to be in is:

Acquire unicorns - spend a lot of cash - Delay process ramp - Layoff employees - rinse and repeat !

Wait, we must now add insider trading to the cycle.

@eou How does this show that the CEO is incompetent? Do you expect the CEO to personally review the design for every single processor Intel releases?

... I am Jack's complete lack of surprise...

--> next step: RIF more US validation/debug teams / groups / facilities

--> then: Open new operational "opportunities" in Bangalore, Shenzhen, or similar

--> then: snowjob wall street with "dynamic synergistic cost cutting blah blah"

--> Profit!

I is the CEO now

I only hope Brian gets investigated for insider trading and goes to jail. Here is some advice: don’t dump almost all your stock a few weeks before this defect is announced. He is such an amateur and greedy a@*clown too.

Intel began offshoring R&D, IT, software development and design in earnest about 10 years ago, e.g. Intel India Development Center, and many others around the world. It was also about the time when PSO began massive cuts. This is all likely coincidence though, but it is certainly interesting to watch.

The CEO’s dumping of $39M stock at the end of November may become of interest.

The timing could be very inconvenient
