Maybe Intel just needs a Taiwanese CEO? ; )
Honestly the article is bullshit. It’s right, but for all the wrong reasons. Intel isn’t failing because it failed to buy OpenAI or partner with Apple. Intel is failing because they’ve made shit design decisions on their chips, sat on their laurels when they were riding high and just raised prices (giving up the engineering lead to AMD and TSMC), and then utterly fumbled the responses to multiple public failures when things started to go down hill.
They’ve also taken the technology basically as far as it can go.
A sentence made out of fluff. What technology? AMD took x86 and gave it wings, better efficiency, neither is only negligible iterative improvements. Intel failed to use lower nm nodes as a first fail.
The world is moving back to RISC, which is my point.
generative AI, which OpenAI released to the world in 2022
What‽ We’ve only been dealing with this shit for 2 years‽ Fuck it feels like 5 LMAO
I already felt this way about intel when they hired fucking Will.I.Am to be spokesperson. He made more money in a month than most of their engineers in a year. That was a decade ago. It’s only been downhill since. I hope they go fully bankrupt at this point and someone worthy can take over the patents.
Anyone who buys into Will.I.Am’s hype is automatically the wrong person to run anything more than a lemonade stand
Put the newest intern in charge for a year. They couldn’t do much worse than the last 4 CEOs, and would be much cheaper.
If Intel said yes to Apple, it would have just made Apple a failure. They’ve done a shit job at mobile chips for years, and never would have given Apple the control that has led to Apple being at the forefront of the mobile market. (And don’t have the advanced nodes Apple is taking the lions share of either).
I just know I don’t like Pat Gelsinger’s over confident bragging style, it seems dishonest. His claim of winning back Apple was ridiculous, Intel was so far behind what Apple was doing with the M1 it wasn’t even funny. And they are even further behind now, than they were then!
Whether he succeeds remains to be seen, but it’s not looking good.Maybe you’re right about Gelsinger. I’ve seen him spew BS but figured he does it because he has to, that Intel has been fundamentally broken for decades, and that he was as a good a CEO choice as they could have made.
he was as a good a CEO choice as they could have made.
I’m not so sure, with the scandals of crashing Intel CPU’s we have now, both their CPU line and their production is getting extremely poor PR.
I suspect Gelsinger pushed unfinished products, because he is desperate for results, and now Intel seems worse off than when he took over reputation wise. Gelsinger is losing both money and PR value on 2 fronts for Intel now.Intel used to have a pretty stellar reputation for reliability, especially in the server market. It seems to me they have little left to build on now.
