Turn on a dime means waiting more than 4 years. Got it.
At some point, he has to be accountable.
What’s your metric for his success and on what timeline? It’s pathetic that employees worship this guy. He’s another loser in a long line of ineffective Intel execs.
This is still BK and BS’s mess. Pat can’t turn things on a dime. Even if the BK brown nosers want us to think so. Foundry is where we can judge him.
thought it's was the indian dude from QCOM sc--wed up the intel process node progression... Pat seems still fixing stuff and on track for now.
We watched as AMD, a distant second for decades, blow past Intel. Then the lifestyle company crushes Intel in their own core competency. Then Nvidia, that you used to beg Intel for scraps by making x86 chipsets, became the world's largest company. Then QCOM, a company that made a name for itself with modems, acquires and develops a competitive Arm CPU with Snapdragon X. Meanwhile, INTC stock is at the same level as it was from 1996. Every CEO, including Pat, can blame macro conditions, foreign exchange, trade wars, interest rates, etc. but when all of your peers blow past you it's a you problem.
dee, i've been saying this for 8 years. since intel fell behind tsmc and too years to admit it there was no hope of ever getting it back. tmg is now a cancerous anchor on intel (and this comes from a guy that worked in tmg for 23 years).
Pat needs to go. Split the Foundry off so the Intel name can live on, or it ALL goes up in flames…
He is paid for the top job at Intel. Don’t blame on someone else for his performance.
Those that have worked to keep factories running over the years are not as much to blame as the “direction setters” in middle/upper management that took there company down the wrong paths. The legacy of Intel is on its death bed…
It's not like Intel was doing well before Pat returned, so the blame isn't all on him. All Intel employees should resign because you're all to blame for the company's sorry a-s state.
