Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Microsoft isn’t built for ARM CPUs. It will fail eventually out of competition race with Apple in the next iterations and fall back into Intel lover arms soon.

@3adc Intel had an ARM based solution even earlier, XScale, acquired from DEC in 1998, and sold off to Marvell in 2006.

oh it so funny that Intel misses every opportunity and lacks strategic vision.
Just small example: Intel bought SoftMachines startup in 2016, and back then they had not-that-bad PoC of ARM CPU.
What has intel done to the project and the team?
Thanks to Keller they closed this project 2 years later and dismissed the team.
Great job guys!

Andy Grove read The Innovator's Dilemma and executed the strategy. Apparently no Intel manager has read it since.

Why buy intel when our consumer performance processors cook themselves and require specific motherboard setting and our server processors are now consuming thousands of watts. Not to mention all the security patches, OS level triages significantly impacting performance, the last round of i9's dying after a couple months, driver issues, removal of standard features like 4x4x4x4x bufurcation and other shenanigans.

The epycs and threadrippers we've bought have been purring for years now. 20 years ago I hated AMD & radeon drivers... guess what... that's intel now.

QCOM and MSFT have been saying this for 15 years now. Nothing has happened in the past, nothing will happen now and nothing will happen in the future. Client compute is Intel’s turf.

Who cares what pats next move is, you better start worrying about yourself and your family.

Pastor thought that only “that lifestyle company” (Apple) would ditch Intel for ARM processors… now EVERYONE and their mother are switching to ARM-based processors!

@tgn wise words!

ARM can be a national security threads to all nations and civilization if not careful. Hackers are definitely loving it at the moment.

Ban ARM? In Cony-Capitalist America? Way too many palms to be greased and money to be made. Be carful not to start thinking that the government is here to help.

Microsoft will collapse along with ARM systems. US will ban ARM for the sake of Intel.

I suspect that all the new Intel fabs will have a name change to TSMC. HF, JF, RA will all convert to Costco shopping and Walmart stores. I mean look at the old Tektronix buildings...only the carcasses of spiders live there now...

Intel Who? Werent they one of the old chip companies like IBM

Pat is not worried at all.
He’s collecting 100M.
How much are you making?

This is a Kodak moment. Intel is old tech and has taken too long to embrace ARM and AI. It will be their undoing and ending.

Even the vaunted dell xps line which has been Intel exclusive since it came out is now using Qualcomm.

Massive failure of imagination at Intel.

Intel missed the 3G opportunity, and now it is missing the AI compute opportunity. It did manage to do very well with the PC/laptop opportunity for many years, but it could not reinvent itself to keep laptops/desktops relevant to the expectations of the consumers. When you ask the question "What is the next big thing (or the next hero application) in client computing?" nobody can give you a clear and convincing answer at Intel, which is worrying. Client computing ran out of steam with no real beneficial AI compute workloads to justify an AI PC. I think the most sensible pursuit for client devices is "make them energy efficient, make them faster, make them cheaper" moving forward rather than trying to justify why the new & "the glorious" AI PC is so important and will be transformative. Go back to basics, and create a flawless execution pipeline and success may follow. Get the leadership on the ONE thing you are truly good at. Don't try to be a leader in EVERYTHING and get thinly spread. Be realistic, not greedy!

MS Windows will have major security issues with ARM system. Don’t worry.
