This modem was never "pulled in". There has been massive slippage and incompetence. Both 8060 & 8160 were supposed to be the same design but on different process nodes. 8060 on Intel 14nm and 8160 on TSMC 7 nm. Both were suppose to be tapped out last summer. Things are so bad they forgot to write the RTL for the transmit side. Nope they are running like 10 b---s--- tests instead of the thousands needed for tape out. Everybody is expecting the chip to come back DOA. tape out going through to get yearly bonus.

They usually don't have a solid signoff of the head count before interviews. Totally normal for them to do this, they did thismto all of the new hires opin our group...
50/50 chance they will actually get the headcount signed off.
Totally normal, but unprofessional.
Engineers at Mediatek will be overjoyed to hear that 8060 is unproductizable.
At least Apple will have a fallback option in terms of Mediatek if 8160 turns out to be unproductizable as well.
Got an interview with iCDG... it's so slower process and hiring manager didn't respond well. 3 rounds interview... After almost 2 months they told me that I got a position but HR/Manager didn't come back. Now it's 3rd month... Is it a fake interview?
I told them will look for other direction/options but even no response regarding my message.
Not sure Intel hiring procedure is just like this or some trouble inside to get a head count.
Of course, didn't get any explanation from them.
But so disappointed how they handling to acquire talent people.
The Germans know as soon as this works they are toast
