They will survive in a "has been" mode for a few years as long as they can keep their outlandish costs under control. The fatal mistake Pat made was pretending to spend money like Intel had unlimited coffers and almost no competition. His infamous "AMD in the rearview mirror" comment is very telling on how much he was fooled by the arrogant "brilliant" architects and other powerful people at Intel about AMD's chances of maintaining their edge.
Bruh when he left Intel they had dominating status and huce R&D and project Backlog when he returned Products are outsourced fabs have been turned to S***.
He returned to Intel out of PURE GREED. His heart was not in the right place. He did not have a winning mindset. A person with that mindset would not have accepted Raptor Lake, Meteor Lake and then finally Arrow Lake. At the first sign of trouble of Raptor Lake oxidation and degradation issues, heads should have rolled. They certainly would have if someone like Lisa had been in charge. You do everything you can to encourage your employees but when they make a grave mistake, you have to make the hard decision to let them go so that those who remain, know that this CEO doesn't F around.
Bruh you should think before you type if you want to see greed see Kranzich Keeping you on 4 Cores Swan Outsourcing everything and both of them doing share buybacks. Par did no share buyback invested in Company
Products take damm long to make if he didn't launch MTL/ARL/RPL there wouldn't be any product for revenue and those were midway in the cycle.
The first thing Lisa would do is sell the Fabs she doesn't like manufacturing proof is their recent acquisition.
Agreed
He did not try to get any of those products fixed. He was hoping that he could just sweep these products under the rug and take the glory for Nova Lake. And now Nova Lake will either be very successful or it will get screwed due to too many essential employees being axed (but maybe they hire more competent ones to replace a few of the lost ones).
If you try to fix them it's at least a 3-6 month delay as for NVL his success or failure was defined under pat so if NVL is good you have to say at least "pat did a good job with NVL" 🙂.
So it was good business sense not to recall the Raptor Lake CPUs to boost consumer confidence, make customers jump through hoops to get RMAs and let their reputation degrade to the point that people with any sense started avoiding their Intel 7 fabbed CPUs and started promoting the competition everywhere?
DIY is whatever.
When your product is already delayed twice, a third one is suicide.
Recall and then redo the binning to resell them as different models or whatever. Don't leave the customer in doubt and ultimately end up with a mentality to avoid the risk altogether by avoiding the product.
Game companies using them in servers isn't DIY only. Now they have switched to AMD. Good job, Pat. AMD couldn't have asked for a better Intel CEO!
The end of Arc maybe, but hopefully we’ll get some really cool new APUs on a node that works—especially for the handheld space.Well, damn,
NVIDIA and Intel to Develop AI Infrastructure and Personal Computing Products
NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) today announced a collaboration to jointly develop multiple generations of custom data center and PC products that accelerate applications and workloads across hyperscale, enterprise and consumer markets.nvidianews.nvidia.com
Is this the end of ARC?
@Perknose
Please move it back to CPUs. The Trump related discussion has long been over.
So Nvidia is kinda saving money by not having to do R&D and other associated costs for maintaining their own CPU.
