The upper management is scapegoating the workers for their mistakes
You would think that they would move hard to make sure they were hiring the best and more people to ensure bullshit like FRYING THE ONLY COMPONENT PEOPLE WANT FROM YOU BY USING YOUR PRODUCT NORMALLY would be paramount. But no. Fire everyone but the C-Suit, do some stock buybacks, ???, then profit.
Line must go up.
I swear to god if companies don’t realize that the point is to make a product or service that people want to use, I’m gonna sue them in Texas and hope to finally get the corporate death penalty.
That’s the Jack Welch playbook!
I don’t think that’s scapegoating, that’s just cutting costs (which they are great at, judging by the quality of their CPUs)
I’d hate to be named Jobs, working at Intel. 🔪
Especially if you’re the only one
I honestly thought this was about to be another orb post from the thumbnail.
Wanting to ponder, huh. Me too.
Guys, i’m sorry to say that 15 years of avoiding innovation because we were the market share leader has to end. We thought AMD was a joke after so many issues in the 00’s so we got complacent.
So we have to can all of you marketers who are shitposting on our advertising “review” site and hire some R&D people. Maybe we can scalp some from AMD.
Sincerely, Intel Executives
sounds good, lets_eat_grandma
I guess he likes his roast beef well aged. lol
But yeah, Intel is a company that only innovates when they have to. If it wasnt for AMD they’d probably only produce a new CPU every 2-3 years to save on R&D costs.
Isn’t it essentially Intel’s fault that instead of moving to automated fab configuration, they kicked back and let TSMC get most of the world’s capacity for these new generation fabs, right on top of a geopolitical faultline? Another example of corporate decisions by near-monopolies harming the national interest.
Hell, in this case the global interest, the problems with these corporate decisions and monopolies can cause major issues for pretty much everyone.
Extra mayo!!!
All those fab workers didn’t make a mistake, the executives did.
Government handouts need to come with some extremely strict rules attached. Alas, our government has been purchased by capitalists, so it will continue to be free money but only for the people who need it least.
They shouldn’t be handouts, they should be share purchases. You want Uncle Sam to deus ex machina your greedy ass? Sure, but Uncle Sam now owns 40% of the company.
Fuck yeah! Their wealthy buddies would start bailing each other out if the alternative was the government buying the company at rock bottom and competing against everyone to build it back up.
I would go a step further and say that it should not be a stock purchase but partial nationalization. The government is not getting shares that will be sold later. The government is getting a right to appoint part of the board of directors. Every time the company issues a dividend, buys back stock, or engages in other activities to return value back to the shareholders, a proportional amount of money must be paid to the treasury. It only makes sense that if a company is so big that its failure is going to hurt society as a whole, it should be owned by society.
The wrong way to take responsibility.
The good part is that the amd64 ISA is going to become less relevant if they go on like this. Maybe we’ll have those RISC-V PCs after all.
I plan on cutting intel out of my purchases for every single computer I make going forward. I bought an effected processor JUST before it came out that all their 13-14 gen processors will fall apart in just a couple months of use.
Planned obsolescence but it’s metastisized
When it was time to upgrade my PC awhile back it took me a long time to decide between the old school equal cores model and the new 12th-gen ones with BIG/little segregated core architecture. I wanted to future-proof my build so it would last a long time, but I chose the more conservative option of the old-school design for a number of reasons.
The Rocket Lake one turned out to be a great choice. I have 8 cores that can hit 5GHz and rock-solid reliability.
It’s kinda of odd watching the early 2000s amd repeat itself with intel
AMD didn’t ship defective CPUs.
True, I was more saying the decline, like lack of performance, hot as fuck chips etc
AMD didn’t decline, they got criminally fucked over… by Intel.
CEO have himself a 45% raise last year. When do we eat the rich?
It should have been obvious when they brought Pat back.
Is this why my leaps all died?
