Comment on Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market
fat_stig@lemmy.world 1 year agoUnder previous non-technical CEOs Intel lost it’s focus on innovation leadership and became a commodity supplier, losing ground to AMD and NVIDIA. Pat Gelsinger is different, he’s an engineer, he led the 486 program, he is committed to regaining technical leadership and compete with TSMC as a foundry player. The Intel 4 node is now in mass production, Intel 3, 20A and 18A will follow in the next 2 years. New foundry capacity is being added in every factory, and new sites are being developed, 10’s of billions of investment, None-core business units are being divested.
Are these things that dying companies do?

Spend money they don’t have in a last ditch attempt to hit the right buzz words and turn things around for real this time? Yes. That’s exactly what they do.
But then again, so do companies that have just got a minor slump.
Let’s hope they manage to fix things. I don’t like TSMCs monopoly position right now.
