Why does Intel want to project so heavily that they are ready to go nowhere fast over a bad quarter and defective Raptor Lake chips? They REALLY don't understand this concept of rebuilding customer confidence. Got it, need to make cuts to R&D, fab construction, etc., but I'm still overwhelmingly feeling this sense of surprising shortsightedness. Anyone else with me on that?

The Pat G. train is like an emotional rollercoaster for the company.

Except their finances are looking really bad. The fact that Pat suspended the dividend should tell you something. He could lose his job for doing that. It means Intel couldn't save enough money simply by cutting fat - they're down to the muscle and bone.

When you're having to make cuts that put future products and business strategy at risk, you don't waste money on anything with a questionable RoI.
