What can Intel do better?

[JBT]

I am doing a paper about Intel and need to think of things they could do better so far I can't think of any.

1.Rising market share
2.Rising profits
3.Awsome reputation
4.Good partnerships
5.Excellent marketing strategy
6.Employee's love thier jobs
7.Great benifits packages
8.Global


I can't think of anything they are doing wrong... Any help.

I heard that at Intel on casual fridays that they have donuts but no eclairs. Some people just don't like eclairs. I know that may be hard to understand but that is what america is all about. That is why we are in Iraq taking pictures of naked handcuffed men so that at some day in the future they will have the right to eat donuts OR eclairs.

you suck

Intel needs to put a little more money into R/D and come up with some better short-term products. Their roadmap is relatively stale for the next year or two and AMD is gonna come up behind them and kick them in the ass. Intel really needs to figure something out with their 64-bit process because it is fairly buggy so far and doesn't run as well as AMD's. They might lose server market share because of that.

He said he needed to write a paper, not an AMD fanboy rant.

Huh? Almost every American company ONLY invests in short-term research. Long-term research isn't done much in the US, but Intel has decided to increase it.

I think the things you list above are mainly true but Intel's problem is, is that it's only true for the cpu market. They need to expand to different businesses and leverage what they do best, fabricate. They should want their name on anything that has to do with silicon, anything on silicon Intel should make it. I know one of their big things right now is the flash market, I don't have the exact numbers, but they're way behind in the flash market share and they're also losing partnerships (nokia) due to bad marketing strategy(intel rose the price on their flash memory last year and lost nokia's contract to samsung).

So, no they're not doing that many things wrong in the cpu areana, but Intel as a whole, there is a lot of room for improvement. Also, are you sure about the great benefits package, I remember that they're not known for well paid salaries ...

Maybe put more emphasis on their telecomm-integration segment?

I think that the belief is that Americans generally can't compete with with Japanese, Taiwanese, etc. in fabrication. We've generally had lower results than them. This is actually one of the reasons why Intel is in microprocessors nowadays. Before they were mainly in memory, but the cut-throat nature & high-spending/low-profit of DRAM and such made Intel and most other American companies drop out and focus on things that require more innovation, like microprocessors.

Some people think that Intel's third act is communications/wireless communications work. First act = memory, Second Act = Microprocessors, Third Act = communication related?

How should I know?

Agreed, rumor has it that they're working on different chips, flash+logic, flash+analog variations in hopes to get their silicon into the next gen. phones, pda, etc.

I think intel is doing just fine. They made more money than I did last year...

I made more money than last year but I have four more years of high school.
