    News Intel CEO announces layoffs, restructuring, expanded return to office mandate

    Oh man it was rough when they cut the maintenance staff at the Folsom site. Dropped to like a handful of people. We went from nightly garbage pick up to maybe once a week. Don't even get me started on the bathrooms. It was rough enough with a bunch Indian dudes who can't handle a urinal.

    News Intel's board gets industry-focused as three directors will not seek re-election — badly needed shift to deeper tech experience

    Why on earth would Intel use cheap Chinese adaptors for engineering samples? No I'm saying they had people in charge of programs with no tech background. They constantly screwed up simple things like DDR4 vs DDR5. Or H vs U vs N skus of Alder Lake.

    News Intel's Meteor Lake CPUs are slower at single-core work than previous-gen models — new benchmarks show IPC regressions vs Raptor Lake

    Former Intel contract employee here... Meteor Lake was a hassle and a half. Samsung drives wouldn't work unless you dropped the pcie speed to 1. They were always damn slow, even the desktop cpus (yes they existed).
