Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

For those that can remember or know technology in the 80s and 90s IBM, HP, DEC and others owned computing with advanced technology, scale, and money.

In the 90s this lucky company called Intel was selected over others by IBM to jumpstart their PC .

Everyone laughed at Intel’s effort to attack high end computing; IBM, DEC, SUN, HP, Cray, Hitachi etc. but with volume and technology cadence look what happened in 20 years!

Now CRB, PSO and BK the three stooges put in place by Andy have wasted that lead and scale by missing every opportunity to sieze the next thing. Missed mobile, cellphone, you name it they missed it. TMG squandered a three year lead in technology and the culprits are all retiring leaving a wreck behind them.

Now TSMC and Samsung lead in silicon and ARMy consortium and SoftBank will have scale and technology and $ to steamroll x86. Won’t happen overnight but it is inevitable as was x86 win.

Where is Andy and the BoD, can’t even find a CEO, and what Leader would want a BoD that pulled The last two CEOs and is SET to ACT again ?

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8cx targeting laptop market made with 7 nm.

Huawei's Kungpeng 920 targeting server market made with 7 nm. Huawei itself also sell servers use the CPU.

Huawei's Tiangang - the industry's first 5G base station chipset made with 7 nm

AMD will soon release 7 nm server CPU

Many would announce 5 nm CPU -- TSMC will start risk production of 5 nm April this year. Late this year or early next, we will see many 5 nm CPU.

What's going on in Intel's manufacturing? Just in 2017, it was still leader of the industry!

What is going on in the manufacturing? Intel used to lead in this area but now lags behind TSMC and Samsung. This opens a window for ARM server and Windows 10 on ARM laptop. They can now compete with Intel with better products (far more transistors in same area plus less power because of smaller node size). What's Intel's plan to recovery its manufacturing R&D? TSMC has taped out first 5 nm wafer Oct. last year while Intel's 10 nm is still not in market?
