Let's do process improvment in this thread. Be creative.

Last year 18A yield was 5% now it's 10% with the critical production, intel is not profitable for the foreseeable. LBT brought in to dismantle intel piece by piece and into design like everyone else..TSMC N2 node is yielding at 90% intel has no... — read more

Just sell Intel business and give real estate to a better company. Divide all profits equally between employees. Or form the union and start riots for free bananas!

Why does Intel still have these job roles? What a waste Release Train Engineers Scrum Masters Communicators Reporters Administrative Assistants What else is missing?

Intel only laid off 6-7K people 15K more to go through attrition? come on that won't happen more layoffs prior to end of 2025 if Intel wants to reach the 75K number as Light Blue Van desires.

More layoff please. Just admit failures and move on to close the business so people can build new skills and careers. Don’t give false hope in recovery.

AMD should pass Intel revenue by 2027.

AMD on its way to being a 100B revenue company and Intel a 10B annual revenue company. Have they printed the HBS case studies yet?

I actually wonder if LBT is really "Laser Focused" or just scatter brained. So far, all he has done is Say "Laser focus" on this, "Laser Focus" on that, yet, all he has done since he arrived is take people to dinner, Lay of 26% or the workforce, and... — read more

Wishing everyone here some peace and better days ahead. Feels like we’re all stuck in different versions of the same mess, but I still believe there’s something better waiting for each of us.

Let's be honest... the US Gov't was never not have a homegrown fab mfg network. It was just waiting how it would play out... first it was CHIPs money... that didn't work. Then it was throwing it some guaranteed NSA/Military money... that didn't... — read more

Big news next week. How many will get the letter?

Bad news, Intel Aloha isn't long for this earth. Good news, Mr Peeps is looking at a major expansion. You heard it here first. p.s. just kidding about Aloha.

Saw this article, reminds me of Intel. Get the popcorn ready folks, there’ll be regrets on both sides! https://nathan-a-allen.medium.com/hertz-sues-accenture-for-setting-its-dumpster-on-fire-404a62174872

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/intels-credit-rating-downgraded-fitch-224455126.html Fitch downgraded Intel to BBB from BBB-plus, placing it just two notches shy of junk credit status. Serving that massive debt is going to end Intel.

Rumored has it that Taiwan has been negotiating with the US about potential tariff reduction from current 20% to 10%. Trump has two conditions: one is that TSMC acquire a 49% stake in Intel, and the other is that it invests an additional $400... — read more

Intel has not been free cash flow positive since 2021. How much longer can we go on bleeding money? Layoffs will help a little, but we all know that IFS is the major offender here. Like it or not, reality dictates that we must divest the fabs.

I can’t see any sensible pattern to these layoffs. If there were real commitment to recovery and a clear vision of what success looks like, we’d see a much more coherent and deliberate approach to reorganization and headcount reductions. Instead... — read more
