Question Intel's future after Pat Gelsinger

[Thunder 57]

Was he there from 32nm-14nm? How instrumental has he been in keeping GF alive as a lower-tier foundry?

Ah yes back when GloFo was going to have their own 14nm node but licensed Samsungs.

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, see

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.

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.

Maybe that's what they want. Keep Intel alive for a few years until they figure their crap out.

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.

VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger says he's not interested in the Intel CEO job, and his boss Michael Dell seems glad to hear it — but there could be more going on beneath the surface

When Pat Gelsinger's name came up as a possible candidate for the Intel CEO job, the denials couldn't happen fast enough, which definitely captured Michael Dell's attention. But there could be more going on beneath the surface.

He was a hypocrite. It was all about the millions he had been promised and he desperately tried but no wonder he failed coz it just wasn't his passion. What would a hardware guy know about fabs. It seems he probably needs assistance balancing his checkbook too.

 

[Thibsie]

He's credited with stopping leading edge nodes at GloFo. Would he do the same at Intel? 🤔

Well, that made Glofo profitable too.

MIPA!
