The whole concept of fab filler of low volume on the high end process makes no sense. The masks are so expensive the product must be super high ASP. Where it makes sense is to have lots of IP and tools to enable designs on the older nodes which is totally against all of intel focus
ICF has to be successful, there is no other choice. Billions of opportunity cost will go down the drain if they fail. That is what I meant by Intel's life line. If Intel is less arrogant and listen to the customers more, this is the business unit that has the highest chance of success. .. but only in the hands of competent management and engineers. . But not the hands of in-bred, spoilt, blind and deaf retards.
the whole idea of fab filler is a joke ..its no longer cost efficient .. if ICF is life line .. then who is the biggest customer..why r they so scared to announce it. becos they dont have any ..
That S.Y. VP needs to go. what has he done to become ICF successful ?
if It's trully Intel life line, INTEL is doomed!
ICF won't be axed. It's Intel life line ,although they might not be smart enough to realise it yet.
ICF ... next in line to be AXED
Ask the fabs about the thousand of wafers run that pay the salary of the thousand of employees that come in at 9 and leave early.
Didn't we have to but some companies to make them use intel fab?
Having lots of customers in ICF? Then why did their Place and Route group have a 40% layoff?
Also why did Sohail have AD head come into ICF to kick engineers out? Doing good I think not.
exactly@HPzED66-hva: what a sh**!
Seems like ICF has alot of customers at the moment. Only folks in ICF and corporate level management knows the details as it is kept secret because if customer relations. But talking to ex Intel employees I have been told ICF looks very promising and many design wins coming in the next 2 years .
It's doing great. We bought our only customer (Altera) and now we can expect an FPGA sometime in 2020 Iif ever.
What a sh!tshow.
