I yearn for the days when companies were a single company, not dozens of sub-companies.

Mostly in the medical field, but technology is right up there as well.

To improve the competitive positions of Intel's high-performance CPUs, Tan said Intel plans to re-enable simultaneous multithreading (SMT) to P-cores in client processors.

Though this might be a seemingly reasonable assumption he didn't say this at all. He was talking datacenter with regards to SMT. The only products in datacenter I'm aware of without SMT are the E-core parts and adding SMT to them would seemingly defeat the purpose of them.

This is the SMT quote from Tan's letter:

In data center, we are focused on regaining share as we ramp Granite Rapids while also improving our capabilities for hyperscale workloads. To support this, we are reintroducing simultaneous multi-threading (SMT). Moving away from SMT put us at a competitive disadvantage. Bringing it back will help us close performance gaps. We are also making good progress in our search for a new leader of our data center business, and I plan to share more on that this quarter.

When we look at what Intel's new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, is doing, we can only conclude that Pat Gelsinger has done an "excellent job." His predecessors, for that matter, have done the same.

Tan seems to be as "open-minded" as Gelsinger, continuing to ignore four billion potential customers: smartphonians. And then, as always, what's happening in the world of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) is still ignored at Intel.

The same could be said of Microsoft; even though it's making record profits, it would be nothing if it, too, stopped being blind to the world of smartphonians.

And they're considered "geniuses." It seems we don't have the same definition of that word.

Generally in business you have to work in a part of the industry where you are strongest. Intel tried going mobile with its atom and it was horrible.

Smartphones has their king, a king that intel can't beat. If intel had better processor for smartphones don't you think they wouldn't sell it?
