I worked inside many years ago. I am not sure what has happened since, but back then it was a very autocratic management philosophy. Companies run this way tend to rise and fall with the cadre of leaders. In the beginning there is ground breaking innovation. Technical leaders are promoted and manage in an autocratic fashion and new blood never has the chance to learn to take risks and learn hard lessons. New products that aren't top down from the original gang are less likely to happen and overall innovation is stifled.
A sharp contrast to this is Amazon. They constantly branch into new areas and bring external services in house. I think the same is true of Apple. This creates a stream of new products and branches into entirely new market spaces. This is all unfortunate as the US desperately needs a healthy semiconductor industry. |

Principally, a small(er) company is better at innovating and if they break out, that company necessarily has to grow. As it grows, it adds a bunch of leadership positions which all tend to prevent (or at least make more difficult) the same sort of innovation and out-of-the-box thinking that got them where they were in the first place. It's a difficult conundrum to deal with. |

Intel down 27% today
Intel shares slump 27% as turnaround struggle deepens Aug 2 (Reuters) - Intel (INTC.O), opens new tab shares sank nearly 27% on Friday and were set for their worst day since 1974 after the chip manufacturer suspended its dividend and slashed its workforce to fund a costly turnaround after losing its once-dominant global position. The company was set to lose more than $30 billion in market value after it gave a disappointing forecast and said it would cut 15% of its workforce, deepening worries about its ability to catch up with Taiwan's TSMC (2330.TW), opens new tab and other chipmakers. "Intel's issues are now approaching the existential in our view," Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon said. View Quote And they are adding 2 years of warranty support for 13th and 14th Gen which is the right thing to do. Intel announces two extra years of warranty amid chip crashing and instability issues longer warranty applies to 13th- and 14th-Gen Core processors Intel told us today that it will extend the warranty on its boxed Intel Core 13th- and 14th-Gen processors by two additional years. Intel's warranty extension comes as a result of the crashing and instability issues that have plagued its 13th- and 14th-Gen chips for months. Those issues impact all 65W and higher models, meaning the crashes have a widespread impact ranging from the flagship models down to even the pedestrian mid-range chips. Intel's processors typically come with a three-year warranty period, so the extension will bring the warranty for most boxed processors to five years. Intel will issue a microcode update by mid-August to address the crashing issues, which cause PCs to crash/BSOD inexplicably during gaming and other workloads due to what Intel attributes to excessive voltage. The issue can cause permanent damage, and the pending microcode update will not 'fix' processors that already suffer from crashing. As such, users with chips that are already crashing will have to return their processors for replacement. However, Intel says the update should prevent chips that haven't experienced issues from degrading. View Quote |

Intel's R&D hub is Oregon based in Hillsboro. They have 22,000 Oregon Employees. The tech industry is essentially what catapulted Oregon into being a deep blue state in the 1980's . The payrolls and tax revenues dwarf the timber industry.
Just Intel's latest announcement of wage cuts was noticed by the state: In a rough calculation, state economist Josh Lehner estimated Intel’s pay cuts could reduce Oregon’s aggregate wages by $150 million to $200 million – about 0.15% of all wages statewide. View Quote They hire a broad mix of nationalities, and the pay is very good if you can get into being an Intel employee and not work on site for a contractor. I've heard the annual review process can be grueling, and that the entire campus is stressed during that period. |

A quality B650 mobo would cost ~$200 and 32GB of DDR5 6000 CL30/32 should be <$100, but ram prices have jumped a bit. Toss in a $90 P41 1TB nvme ssd and you have a top of the line system for ~$650-$750 and ready for the new GPUs that should release in the next 6months. It sounds like AMD will have some pretty nice GPUs in the $400-$600. |

They have been leapfrogging each other the past few gens on best gaming performance, but Intel has only been clawing by by pumping ridiculous amounts of power through the CPUs.
