Should one stay at Intel our should one get the F*uck outta there

You should stay if:

1) You believe Moore's Law still works and will continue to offer double the density and continued performance and power improvements with every generation

2) You believe R&D and billions spent on 1) will continue to offer a competitive advantage

3) You believe x86 virtuous cycle can be protected in server at crazy high margins and ASP >> 1000

4) You believe x86 is still relevant in desktop at ASP > $100 and will again grow as people really want more laptops / desktops versus a phone.

5) You believe intel can structural change it's cost structure for IoT and memory and compete against the leanest and meanest companies out there, IE cut structural and commodity cost by 2x and get > 50% GM

6) You believe Intel can continue to get 95% of its revenue for the "N" node and sunset the N-1 node factories

7) You believe Intel can transform its cultural to become customer friendly for external products on Foundry.

8) You believe drones and reality TV and will.i.am will get people to continue to be willing to hand over 50%+ GM to intel.

9) You believe what Apple did by designing their own ARM core was a one off and that Google, Amazon, and FB are too poor and stupid not to do that too for a competitive advantage for their own internal billion dollar server farms

10) You believe none of the above but only need about two more years till retirement.

11) You believe BK with all your heart will find a new strategy beyond ACT to improve efficency

You should Leave:

1) You believe Moore's Law advantages have run the course and each generation provide little more than more density.

2) You believe ARM with a 1 billion volume will do x86 what x86 did to servers/mainframes. Use volume to subsidize a huge ecosystem and amortize cost of process and software development to make it the platform of choice. IE virtuous cycle of high volume paying the bills.

3) You believe IoT and memory are commodity and only the leanest and meanest companies that play there now will survive there too.

4) You believe Apple, Google, FB, Amazon and others are tired of letting Intel have in excessive of 70% GM on the server chips as they pay billions to Intel and will develop there on hardware solutions.

I don't know about you but I'm all out at this point

You figure out your own plan unless you're a brainless twit.

how does one have a plan, last man standing at the stern of the titanic as it goes down, just like Leonardo DiCaprio w/o a life vest and trying to cling to a piece of wood, LOL

You make it sound as if everything depends on the company and nothing depends on you.

How about this simplified version?

You stay if:

1) You have a game plan for staying on

You leave if:

1) You DON'T have a plan

Thoughtful post douchbag

Hillsboro will be the walking dead... I'd sell real estate NOW and rent if I had to live there a while.

As the previous poster said, relocation is all a head thing. If you got nothing where you are you gotta move buddy!

Besides if you are in Oregon that place will implode when Moore's Law comes to an end

Everyone can relocate.

It's all in your head.

Ok but where will the folks who cannot relocate go?

Of course no one person that important, that why a bunch of the got ISP, VSP, ERP, but of course if enough go then it will impact things.

But the real issue is the strategy is broken..

Some of you think you're WAY more important than you are. Almost anyone, especially management and execs, could be fired and nothing at all would change. Nothing. Intel workers are a 'butt in a seat'. You are a WWID. You are a HC. Stay, or leave, decide based on your own situation. Don't for a second give a thought to loyalty because it is not reciprocated.

Get the heck out that Krazian mini tin pot dictator

Enron comes to mind...

Yup work and collect a paycheck till the house of cards collapses and thousands orore at mutiple sites are cut. You jump into the water and realize the other companies are maybe hiring a handful of folks but there at thousands or more looking for a life vest and I am on the life boat looking at you flailing titanic swimmers with no life jacket...

I stay and work for anyone who pays me well for my services. I don't care about company's logistics and finances. Once they go bankrupt I move to somewhere else. This is the difference between renting and owning a house. Intel is not mine, not a thousand shares not on the board of directors nothing. You get the idea. You guys are like when your wife divorces you and only then you start calling her names and warn others not to ever marry her. Get a job and move on. You are working class not business men. Get it?!

It doesn't matter what I believe really...It matters what the investors believe. As long as the stock price is staying steady it means there are investors willing to pay me to work on the items mentioned. When the investors lose hope though...then yeah it's time to leave.
