News The week in chip news: Intel gets a new CEO, China chip smuggling, AMD dominates

Not really sure where you get the idea he brings a lot of hope and only a little fear. I mean, I guess people have a new hope unlocked with him coming back after throwing a fit and going home when the going got tough. The hope that he doesn’t further screw things up and wreck the place on his way out again. Or maybe hope for stock market bros who want to make a quick buck before it all burns down. Glad to see articles finally pointing the finger at someone else besides Gelsinger for the layoffs. I mean, he still made the ultimate decision, but he was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Plus, all these articles and comments about how Intel needs to be leaner and more efficient, and the comparisons to companies like TSMC, NVidia, and AMD regarding how they have way fewer employees. Guess people can’t put two and two together these days because Intel is like TSMC and AMD combined or even TSMC and NVidia combined. Intel might actually have fewer employees than those numbers.

Anyway, this guy only cares about shareholders first and customers in a distant second place. Doesn’t care at all about labor force and skilled workers. Dude needs some classes on enterprise management just to learn the definition of stakeholders.

Rant over. Sorry for the long venting session.

It isn't a great look when a competitor beats your flagship chip by 37% in anything, but that's exactly what the 9950X3D did to the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K in gaming.

What is Lip Bu Tan getting 69 million dollars for?

He shows up to a Intel bruha wearing his last companies' logo and speaks of laying people off yet walks away with 69 million and has not done a damn thing yet.

Produce the goods, then get rewarded.
 
Tan hails from Synopsys -This is wrong! He took over as the CEO of Cadence Design Systems ( who is a Synopsys competitor) and turned it around for the better.

Good for investors to quickly cash up?
I dunno.
