To the guy who spent his 700k inheritance on Intel: this is bullish.

      firing a bunch of your R&D staff when you are already behind your competitors : bullish!

      this is why I come here, for the amazing analysis

      edit for the clowns below:

      > **Intel will reduce its R&D** and marketing spend by billions each year through 2026; it will reduce capital expenditures by more than 20 percent this year; it will restructure to “stop non-essential work,” and it’ll review “all active projects and equipment” to make sure it’s not spending too much.

      > “This is painful news for me to share. I know it will be even more difficult for you to read,” reads part of a memo from Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger to staff

      Intel just wants to help Intelguy to get his money back. They announced it after Intelguy’s investment.

    3. Should have ask me first. Intel worker I overheard last week got 1 year severance to volunteer to quit. It was a general call to anyone.

      That little blue thing the CEO has is the credit card they are about to run up trying to build fabs and never turning a profit again.

    5. lol, trying the good ol’ “If we say ‘AI’ out loud, maybe the algos will pump us”

    6. I worked @ Bell Labs / Lucent Technologies in the 1990’s while they were imploding.

      I am getting the *exact same* energy I’m getting from Intel now.

      It’s a dinosaur that is saddled with an aging workforce, particularly at the executive level, that doesn’t understand or anticipate where the market is and is going.

      What is going to happen now is all their top employees are either going to retire or go elsewhere, Intel is not going to be able to replace them and that is the end of it. At Bell Labs, everyone I knew either retired, went to Academia or a FAANG company. Newly-minted PhDs don’t want to work for a dying tech company.

      There isn’t a market for massive, over-engineered “space heater” CPUs other than the high-end PC gaming market; which isn’t enough to keep a company their size afloat (and can be met by AMD regardless). Additionally, as we’ve seen with the recent debacle, their CPU architecture is so brittle that if the power management malfunctions they will be permanently damaged.

      As a long-time PC/Intel geek, its really amazing how subtly the market shifted to the point I didn’t even realize it until recently. I spend literally 100% of my time on a M2 Macbook, Steam Deck, S24 Android phone and Quest 3 headset (the latter being Qualcomm Snapdragon SOC chips). I have an Acer Predator Intel/Nvidia gaming laptop that sounds like a 747 taking off when doing something as trivial as downloading Windows updates and has been gathering dust for 8+ months. The power supply is the size of a literal brick and it’s a pain to even travel with as it barely fits in my backpack.

      The present and future is power-sipping SOC (system-on-a-chip) + AI solutions, which are already powerful enough to play Fortnite, which is all the younger generation is going to care about. I also don’t think people anticipate what a groundbreaking technology AI upscaling is, as it will allow 8k rendering with 2k hardware.

      cutting off unnecessary positions at Intel is indeed bullish, also cancelled dividends.

      Not with the pending lawsuits and major recalls of the top of the line chips from the last generations

      There were a few intel shills in WSB clowning AMD the last few months saying why Intel was on the way up again… need to find them as well

      I’ve seen that photo before. What’s he holding? A Larrabee? Xeon Phi? Something else that was a dead-on-arrival for Intel?

    10. I held Intel for 4 years and made nothing. Even bought a bit more on one of the smaller dips. Still nothing. As soon as it hit $45 again I sold everything. Dividends where barely $25 pr quarter.

      We haven’t fully had our share prices skyrocket with the A.I. bubble like the rest of tech.

      Fixed it!

      Intel’s play is shifting the business to be primarily focused on foundry activities. Theyll ink deals with apple, Microsoft, Qualcomm, etc. to manufacturers the chips those companies design in-house. Hence cutting R&D and reassessing what they’re working on.
