Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Dont know what to say about 2020, but past is prologue!!

Intel exited ARM and it became the de-facto mobile standard.

Intel exited the automotive business and automotive is now a growth engine.

Intel exited the data center business and the cloud is where the dollars are now.

I agree with others that it will be more of the same.

IT moves to India and Malaysia. It started a few years back and will only accelerate over the next few years. Maybe not by 2020, but I do believe this will happen.

For the sake of all us shareholders, they need to dispose of TMG and dump all the extra dead weight including management, engineers, techs and admin. Don't need them anymore since they are past their usefulness. TMG execs know the history is bleak since they have been funneling their management buddies out of TMG into other organizations for the last few years.

@TnXYddo-3sar Sorry to bust you’re dream. TSMC took a careful look at the cost and talent in US and quickly determined that between poisonous management down to GL level, small factory footprint and cost that US is dead.

TMG is so screwed the only fools that would buy it are the Chinese and they can’t.

The BoD are having serious disciussions about what to do with TMG and it is ugly as Intel core business really doesn’t need TMG anymore after the 14nm slip and 10nm debacle

Maybe Intel sells off TMG to TSMC who then expands their foundry to the US and injects superior leadership and growth by firing all the current Intel TMG mgmt and establishing new mgmt and direction.

AMD will go TSMC does Inte dare not to?

@TnXYddo-2agy TMG development has fallen of the rails. All the ppt about density and leadership can’t produce anything real out of the fab! Just look at the 10nm product out there, slow, lots of leakage and GPU fused out because it doesn’t work at all.

The Intel product team will have no choice but go to TSMC 7nm. TSMC should have a lot of capacity in 2020 as leadership will have moved to 5nm by than.

• 5g will go the 10nm way, never reach market.

• Mobileye will be sold off

• Some CPU products will be manufactured by TSMC.

• Intel will have a dGPU in the market but it will be only marginally better than iGPUs

Can't Intel be facing law suit for doing practices that do brain drain in US sites?

Still running 14nm, probably ++++ version

If you mean market-wise, the US seems very saturated at this point, I believe Intel will do much more business in Asian countries over the next decade. As for the outlook of US Intel employees, I believe many of the engineering and development positions will be relocated to low cost geos but also into the geos with greater growth for better customer relations. I already see us ramping up redundant teams in low cost geos and with a lot of reorgs and work consolidation I am convinced it’s trending that way. I’m also highly suspicious that the reason for neglecting to address US employee morale could be a strategy to start leading people to leave the company voluntarily to avoid costly severance packages.

I somewhat agree that Intel USA future is bleak.

Lot of design hiring has happened in India and Malaysia. Teams there are ramping up. So design future in USA is bleak. Onto Fab side, I don't know what the China Fab does or will evolve into. May be Fab future is still there in the US given the Fab delivers it's commitments ...

@vis: Why do you think that it's chinese?

It's not, and never was, though it likely has investments there.

Arm has been sold out to china. Softbank is a chinese company not a japanese.

More silent layoffs.

It's interesting to see when Intel realizes that autonomous cars, 5G and drones are all failing and far behind competition...

"I strongly believe Intel USA future is bleak. Intel will do well in china and India."

...and how is that an "intelligent comment"?

Texas Instruments.

I'll get back to you OP as soon as I check my crystal ball.😂

They'll continue to limp along as long as BK and his bevy of executive management continue to exist. No new strategy, just trying to jump on whatever short term tech fad comes about. TMG needs to be sold if there is to be any sanity in their business.
