Ah yes back when GloFo was going to have their own 14nm node but licensed Samsungs.
Was he there from 32nm-14nm? How instrumental has he been in keeping GF alive as a lower-tier foundry?
He joined GloFo in March 2018 to become its CEO. In August 2018 news spread that GloFo was cancelling 7LP as well as research into 5nm and 3nm nodes, seeWas he there from 32nm-14nm? How instrumental has he been in keeping GF alive as a lower-tier foundry?
Maybe that's what they want. Keep Intel alive for a few years until they figure their crap out.As for being "instrumental for keeping GF alive as a lower-tier foundry" that's essentially what his whole stay at GloFo as a CEO has been about.
IMO, not going to happen until they solve the biggest problem first; employees. Everyone focuses on the tech and biz, but it's all pointless if you do not have a competent motivated workforce incentivized to succeed. Push ups Pat simps can try to spin it any way they want, he was in charge when all of the punitive actions against employees were taken. Including 2 major rounds of layoffs. I wouldn't let him run a hot dog cart.Maybe that's what they want. Keep Intel alive for a few years until they figure their crap out.

Well, that made Glofo profitable too.He's credited with stopping leading edge nodes at GloFo. Would he do the same at Intel? 🤔
MIPA!Well, that made Glofo profitable too.

No idea if the decision to cancel all leading edge nodes was his or done before he came in, making him just a matching pick. Either way it's still ominous should he indeed be picked for Intel now.

He joined GlobalFoundries, May 2014 as senior vice president and general manager of the company’s 300mm semiconductor wafer manufacturing facility in Malta.He joined GloFo in March 2018 to become its CEO.

Except Gary isn't a CEO and Intel board are not going to go for another "technical" guy AKA Pat V2.0.Iseethefuturebutnotwhat'sinfrontofme.Thomas Caulfied = 14LPE/14LPP copycat guy.
Gary Patton = 10LP/7LP/5LP/3LP-NextGen innovator guy.
It's interesting that he's leaving to become CEO of Nokia, not because he was fired. Either way he was at Intel for only one year. 🤔Another Intel leader to leave the company after Gelsinger’s exit. This time their AI chief.
Oh, Intel will soon buy Nokia, then ?It's interesting that he's leaving to become CEO of Nokia, not because he was fired. Either way he was at Intel for only one year. 🤔
Heating, exploding phones like you've never experienced before, coming SOON to a store near you!Oh, Intel will soon buy Nokia, then ?
Intel has to do something before they run out of cash! I think the only hope other then TSMC taking over the Intel foundry business; is to close it down and take a massive write off!Well it seems the genius BoD is trying to offload Intel's foundries to TSMC and convincing the administration to make it happen
... Such unbelievable stupidity
There are other options, it could be a consortium with major US silicon designers and "whales" (google, amazon, etc) with some initial government backingIntel has to do something before they run out of cash! I think the only hope other then TSMC taking over the Intel foundry business; is to close it down and take a massive write off!
Elon Musk could be convinced by President Trump to buy it out completely, but I would not bet on that since Elon has DOGE to run still.
Add the fact that US gov will likely treat TSMC as trash and China attack Taiwan... sorry if there is politics on there, but I can't imagine the dire situation we are about to see...Well it seems the genius BoD is trying to offload Intel's foundries to TSMC and convincing the administration to make it happen
... Such unbelievable stupidity
Texas Instruments and IBM might want to cut in, depending on how much money they could make/save. Also the irony of TI getting a piece of the old Intel fabs . . .If GloFlo and Samsung step in and "share" the Intel fabs with TSMC, that could be an acceptable compromise. If not, maybe then we have to hope that Rapidus succeeds where Intel failed.
