Contra revenue modems will save us LOL
All the great past are gone or retired. Moore while still around is enjoying his last days in Hawaii. He was always too nice to stick it to you. At this stage in his live it is going to have to be the board, and sadly they give it to BK!
Now I hope they are geting some real good input. I'd say if they regroup ( Board/Intel ) that is, they still have a 50:50 chance to save the company.
The current situation facing intel is similar to IBM but more dire
Cash cow server slower growth with attack from ARM
Core business declining
Value proposition for new products less and less, good enough and people only replace on fail.
Cost of business escalating exponentially as we race to the end of Moore.
Intel really has not faced head one and told it's employees or the investors/stockholders what they plan. To be the company that rode Moore better than anyone else to not admit the end is coming and position the company with transparency and honest to all is simply stunning.
It is stunning there is no plan!
Wonder how Andy Grove's passing affected the timing of this...
...we have bought >70 companies and failed to get any value from a single one of them
The king has no clothes.
Moore's Law baby doubling can continue forever!
x86 is the best thing since sliced bread, nothing is better, nothing.
We sell modems to Apple
We sell high margin IoT, forget the fact the place is crowded with very Tom Dick and Jane low cost competitor.
We sell host reality shows
We... enter here...
No OP, the real reason that Intel had to take action is that it has 1 dying product and 0 innovation or hope of a viable new product line. Intel is in the beginning phases of it's death.
I agree that action had to be taken, however the Gestapo-like tactics of April were not the way to start that action.
IoT, 5GModems and memory a drive into commodit with heavy competiton and open standards sounds good
