Hector's advice to Intel

I wished I could get millions running a company into the ground and then getting myself quoted in Business Week giving advice to the company that kicked my ass. Seriously, sign me up.
 
I dont like the split the businesses part.I think intel should stay one corp and keep focusing on improving X86 for server,desktop and mobile.
 
Hector got no clue. Mobile market CPUs cost about 5-10% of the total device cost. Intel is all about selling CPUs that are the single most expensive part of the PC. Intel has nothing to offer that will make decent profit margins in mobile market. Samsung and Apple got the game, and rest are getting only scraps. Intel is actually selling some radio chips to Samsung for SG3 and SG4.
 
How the hell do guys like Hector Ruiz keep getting work? I mean, how many companies do you have to skull rape into the ground before someone says "yeah maybe we shouldn't hire this douchbag..."

I can destroy a company for, what, a mere 1/10th of what these hotshots do. Hire me.

I would do it for even 1/50th, maybe as low as 1/100th. Hector got and gets something like 16-20 million a year.

There is only one reason, and one reason only, why Businessweek and Hector Ruiz put that article together for people to read - and it is stated right at the end in the biography:

Hector Ruiz is the former CEO of Advanced Micro Devices and author of Slingshot: AMD's Fight to Free an Industry from the Ruthless Grip of Intel (Greenleaf, 2013).

^ its all orchestrated PR to get more exposure for Hector's book. Nothing more.

This crap is always the same, follow the money.
 
Nice one maxima, also whatcha got that 3930k OCed to ? killer chip.

Cant wait for Ivy Bridge E ..... their lagging the launch cuz they have no competition...
 
Only going to say, don't buy his book. There is no way to sort what little wheat may be among the chaff.

Was anyone here seriously considering buying it? Seriously, who would buy that book apart from MAYBE industry analysts. I mean, is the general public really interested in the musings of a failed CEO of a tech company that 90% of them have no idea even exists about another tech company that only 15% of people are aware exists?

Seriously, who was going to buy his book? I would be shocked if he earned more than $1000 from book sales.

I think the more interesting read would be how Intel came to dominate the industry. I mean really, who wants to read about the guy that failed?

I don't think that would ever happen. If someone high-up at Intel ever chronicled their illegal mis-deeds to control the industry, then it would be used as primary evidence against them in a lawsuit.

Or do you somehow think that Intel is in fact squeaky-clean in this regard? I certainly don't.

Let's not do this again, okay?
