Intel's struggles did not start yesterday, but years ago, and now the company faces problems across multiple fronts. It's hard to say when things turned dark for Intel or attribute any particular business decision that led to this situation, but yet here we are: Intel is bleeding money, the performance of its products is behind offerings from AMD and Nvidia, its foundry efforts yet have to take off as its current process technologies are behind products fabbed at TSMC, and it has

Years ago, I made an Altoids tin kit full of tools and adapters that would help me in a pinch. Call it an EDC (Every Day Carry) for your PC. This kit changed to accommodate my needs as I traveled the UK delivering training courses; I’d merely pick up a new component and drop it into the kit

Former Intel CEO and chairman Craig Barrett has laid out a blunt blueprint to rescue both Intel and, by extension, America’s ability to produce state-of-the-art chips. He has warned that without urgent funding, Intel risks ceding critical ground to overseas rivals, which is an unprecedented fate since the company is crucial to America's contemporary semiconductor ambitions . He stressed that leadership in chipmaking requires heavy investment years in advance of demand
