Discussion Intel's past, present and future

[whoshere]

Letter from Lip-Bu Tan to Intel employees:

 

[fastandfurious6]

Chairman Yeary had drafted a plan to spin off the loss-making foundry business [.....] They also considered selling the semiconductor manufacturing business to Taiwan’s TSMC.

By contrast, CEO Tan argued that the foundry is essential to Intel’s success and necessary for the U.S. to secure an independent semiconductor supply chain without relying on foreign firms like TSMC or Samsung.

CEO Tan is objectively right, also acting 100% in the interest of both Intel and the US


what is intel without its own chips? It won't manage to be #1 again by using external/TSMC

the whole situation reads that A18 is bad (yields/perf) and intel won't be competing in the forefront anymore


I wonder if Trump's intervention has anything to do with the fact that Intel is heavily affiliated with a specific country which is committing brutal war crimes in broad daylight and will sooner or later be universally cancelled for a long time. Arguably Intel's most important department's is the R&D in that specific country where most market-dominating chips came from.

"Engaging with the Administration"

"Ensure they have the facts"

Yeah, better think of some great ways to bribe the Administration into accepting "facts" since they believe in anything BUT facts.

"Ensure they have the facts"

He meant money

This whole thing is (Intel) inside job, enabled by current madness

Tan is killing Intel to keep the Foundry alive a couple extra years. Spinning off the fabs is mainly to save Intel (Products).

 

[fastandfurious6]

well if intel = intel foundry, and Tan is killing intel... then Tan CEO is killing everything intel?

is Tan sharing intel with china killing it as CEO? lol

Tan is sharing with China secrets in how not to run the fabs.

Tan is sharing with China secrets in how not to run the fabs.

well i am pretty sure Intel is an expert at this at least in the last 10 years they have eroded away a moat that was supposed to be unmatched by anyone

This is where I mention that TSMC got visas to run their US fabs...

It's basically being run by TW Citizens.

Kraznich was a trojan horse!!! Long live Kraznich!

 

[Win2012R2]

It's basically being run by TW Citizens.

And Taiwan is officially recognised by the US being part of China.

 

[511]

so by this logic China is making more advanced semiconductor than US 🤣

duplicate post

That's correct.

 

[511]

That's correct.

US should die of shame at this point lol

The recent election results say they barely have any left.

Ofc how can I forget how amazing the president is

Kranzich Follower first time I have seen someone say good thing about kranzich

The last election results say they barely have any left.

FTFY

Is Trump really a triple agent of both Xi and Putin?? Crazy times we living...

Ok back to topic, I think intel has no future 🤣

How Trump is doing yeah.. and that's worse since it affects x86 (come on, AMD won't sustain all of it by themselves!)

 

[DrMrLordX]

(come on, AMD won't sustain all of it by themselves!)

Perhaps they could. But that's outside the scope of this thread.

 

[DZero]

Perhaps they could. But that's outside the scope of this thread.

It can't be or it can, remember that Intel is one of the founders of x86. And x86 is important in the current informatic world. The transition to ARM is still not complete

2 out of 3 is not bad:
