Why should the broads of the board care?
Tbh, PG is the best you can have. You could have a DEI, or an Indian.
All of them are essentially untrained cheerleaders helped by bean counters with fewer and fewer beans in the Intel jar.
PG is the devil you know, and who knows Intel.
Watching Pat “do his thing” is like watching a well intentioned but messianic figure standing on the beach trying to roll back the waves! I think he’s not a bad CEO, but he’s trying to do an impossible job. What is gut wrenching to watch however are the G11+ “senior” executives just cow towing to him and agreeing with him. A cult of personality meets a large bunch of sycophants many of whom have been there for 15/20+ years and are somnambulistically treading water and others who have arrived in the last 1-2 years and who honestly know the square root of FA about our technology and our sector. Basically a bunch of corporate sycophants led by a messianic geek pining for the days of Andy Grove. We are toast basically!
BS invested $0 in the future of the company. If you think being handcuffed to equipment only capable of building 14++++++++ is a better position, you are a lost little puppy barking at clouds.
Who's on top?
The board is composed of other people like PG that are so removed from technology, they have no idea what needs to be done. So, they are spending billions building fabs to impress one another, even though they don't have any chips to build that anyone wants.
