Idm2.0 will bring intel back to where it was. We need to be patient.

Intel IDM dominance came because of the Wintel monopoly. There were many companies with superior technology but didn’t have the guaranteed volume and captive monopoly. This allows Intel in the late 80s thru the 90s to invest huge sums of money in RD and fabs to dominate the logic business. Other like IBM, DEC, HP, Motorola, National, AMD, and others weren’t inferior by much but couldn’t compete on scale and captive market so they all fell behind and folded shop.
Than arrogance and business pivot missed resulted in mobile ARMy of billions of processors made by Apple, MediaTek, Qualcomm to enable the Foundry’s to do the same relentless cadence of process development. Intel and PTD arrogance got lost and now they will never recover as they now have neither scale nor technology nor a captive high margin market to milk. Even government subsidies can’t make them competitive against the scale of innovation and economies business that TSMC with its partners like AMD and Nvidia in HPC and Apple, Qualcomm, MediaTek and others in the SOC space.
Please tell us how IDM 1.0 went ? Please cite your data, any data, which supports your claim that 2.0 will now be a success.
HR trolls are the worst. Peddling false hopes only to crush them when they choose.

IDM = Intel’s Delusional Move
You can’t serve as an external foundry and also serve internal designs. There’s obvious conflicts of interest.
