a disaster is the perfect opportunity to dump staff to increase profits. I almost wondered if the chips were purposely ruined.

welp, as nice the Intel excursus on my laptop has been... It's time to go back to red with the desktops.

Which means. It's time to respec the pcbuild list.

Laying off all too many validation engineers some years back worked so well so lets see how this one pans out.

Intel IMHO could lay off 15,000 people if they have gotten rid of the poor managers and broken processes

The oncoming train crash was visible some years ago when I left. Too many top people who'd never experienced competitive markets, vanity projects, buying random companies without a clear understanding of how they would integrate.

The Israel link is hurting them too

Maybe they should make better processors instead... They are fast, sure, but at cost of idiotic power and heat demands. It's so bad, idea of buying Intel CPU doesn't even cross my mind when AMD has so much better CPU's.
