Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Add to this that accepting a position at Intel also means there is no chance at advancing your career anytime soon, if ever. Certainly this is a major change over the last thirty years when dedication and successful work on projects often brought the employees a promotion and new challenges. Then Intel changed its modus operandi toward employees and hired to keep in same position for years until employee took attrition or was laid off. We are now entering the next phase of contract to hire, or simply let run out. Managers can recite all the paper BS career paths they want but simply never execute even after the employee has done everything the manager required to reach next level.

@1whj - re: server pipeline, SKL-EP and all its spinoff -SP variations are a generational upgrade to BDW-EP. All the server customers need to upgrade and aren't willing to throw all of their eggs into the EPYC basket. Yet.

So, INTC will continue to have good quarters based on this major upgrade cycle until EPYC gets its solid footing. Even then, it is hard to predict whether a growing MSS loss to AMD is covered by SAM growth. AMD quarterly reporting will really tell the tale. Any way you look at it, it will take awhile to make a dent in INTC.

Does Intel have enough good products to fill the fab capacity now that the server part is a flop?

@1rpe - I'd take Enron out of that list - they were just crooks cooking the books. All the others had huge revenue streams of actual products that were eventually overtaken by better technology.

Intel is reporting the third quarter of SKL-EP server revenue - a major spike in a two-year server upgrade cycle. Flash is close to making money and BS is a master at balancing the spreadsheet. It's going to be a good reporting quarter end of this month. It's what is beyond that everyone will be watching for.

Enron, Kodak, BlackBerry, Nokia, Motorola all looked good till they didn’t.

Do you have any understanding why it looks good?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Even after all the waste, record revenue & record bonuses every quarter. Next one coming up soon.

The only success was x86 and tick tock, and what happened to it tick tock? It is now tick tock tock Tock and Tock as 10nm will never see the light of day and Intel needs more 14nm capacity to make up for lack of 10nm

It's been over a decade since Intel has been successful at anything!

Thestock is up two pct today

I don't know why everyone thinks McAfee (note the non-cafe spelling) was such a $$ failure. They grossed about $2.1B in revenue every year they were with Intel, and INTC still retains a 49% stake in the growing company. The failure was to integrate security into Intel CPUs. From a financial standpoint, it was not bad, and provides ongoing revenue.

The fact that Moore's law comes to an end is a blessing. It would not be too hard to re-capture the manufacturing lead, if they get the right people.

Mobileye, Nervana, etc. has to be written off, the Nervana bugger wrote an article calling for government help in AI. It's dead give away. (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/intel-editorial-governments-help-advance-210000616.html)

Intel lives and dies with PTD. That was the only first rate stuff. Intel needs to hire someone away from TSMC to really drive the foundry business. It can't be done with the existing people, bull sh--ters mostly. It is a problem of world view more than anything else.
