Gelsinger actually tried to do some stuff, despite some of the shady intel nonsense we are used to. AMD was saved by an engineer with a plan, not by marketing and finance people.
It was both. The willingness to shake up the industry with a risky but potentially revolutionary product is crucial but the marketing team has actually done a surprisingly great job with Zen. Interestingly, AMD is now facing the same marketing challenge that Intel was around the launch of Zen, transitioning past a 9th/9000 series generation.

Wrong. CEOs that have Business and Financial backgrounds are, what Intel needed from the beginning. An Engineer, as proven now, can't run anything. Pats sole focus on Intel Foundry shat on the entire business. You need to make money, make good products, raise money and then slowly invest in the fabs. Dude focused and blew all the money one the fabs, instead of making good chips for consumers and businesses and raise slowly the companies value and investments.
@@boam2943 No, the degradation already happens with the new 258V, which draws 258A, gets 258°C hot and has 258nm lithography. I'm still not sure how i should power this thing.

Turning around a ship that big would have taken him 4 years at minimum. We won't know for a bit if he was even steering in the right direction with things like killing Royal Core, and gutting AXG. Intel is 4 times the size of AMD, it's a juggernaut, and it's impossible for any CEO to flip a switch to fix it. Lisa Su couldn't have done at Intel what she accomplished at AMD. Amd was a much more Lean, smaller scale company with nowhere to go but up
@@Sir_punchwood I don't agree with that. IN fact it's easier for intel to go up because they have a much larger bank account to hire, and to do so. AMD had no where to go but further down if they failed. Lisa SU inovates and absolutely understands what people want. Intel has every means to succeed.
Intel has historically done everything inhouse. With their own foundry etc. This used to be the best in the business and everything inhouse was a strength of theirs, until the foundry started lagging behind the competition. This then became a liability as the foundry affected all other parts of the business, and everything inhouse became a weakness. Its not a matter of "simply hiring more people", it was (still is) a matter of revising their entire manufacturing pipeline.
The interim-CEOs are temporary. Intel had better try to find a Steve Jobs type as quickly as possible otherwise Intel is going to become the next Blackberry as in...irrelevant.
2009-2014 was a very dark time for AMD. Even worse than what Intel is in now. Their shares wear barely worth 2 dollars then. Lisa Su changed the direction the company was heading in.
@@Riyozsuyeah amd was in a situation where they had two choices: take a risk and potentially send themselves under quickly or stick close to their current path and guaranteed send themselves under slowly. that company, if they didn't succeed with zen (by failing or by not trying it), would've guaranteed gone bankrupt
Finance CEOs brought Intel to its knees. Engineer Pat tried to turn it around, but couldn't halt momentum enough. Bringing back marketing/finance as the head will be the death knell of Intel.
He's just too slow (which is understandable since the damages that the previous one had dones are pretty bad), if he's as fast as we can dream off, the BoD wouldn't fire him but they did because they're impatient
@@osopenowsstudio9175 by being slow do you mean slow to cancel projects like arc gpus? Too bad he wasn’t as slow to not cancel royal core project though. What exactly was his plan on making Intel better even? Riding on top of government’s subsidies?

Not only do they have the better manufacturing process, but rumor has it the LEGO world also has some serious long time experience with packaging individual tiles together - without using any glue. Maybe that's why Intel board got rid of Pat, they were afraid he might ruin a good deal they're working on with the LEGO world to make their next gen of chips.
While having the "Thanks, Steve" lady becoming the interim co-CEO for Intel is probably a terrible, TERRIBLE sign for the company, I can't help but find it hilarious and wonderful.
I just hope she has a good sense of humor and the first "marketing" move she makes is to get in touch with GN for an interview, during which she purposely drops some perfectly timed "thank's Steve"s when Steve least expects it.
Hope intel gets a engineer CEO as their "permanent successor", since, as we all know, marketers and salespeople just don't know how to run a tech company
Eh. Steve Jobs was probably the best salesman in history. And yet he managed to take a basically bankrupt company from nothing to squashing all of their competition. A salesman could lead a tech company no problem. It's more so that all companies these days value mindless drones. These drones eventually work their way up the pyramid and try passing this mindless corpo speak nonsense as advertisement or actual policy. They don't know how to sell anything. Just look at Tim Cook's leadership of the same company. Has that guy ever even said anything without a wall of corpo babble around it?
I'll admit... I think letting Gelsinger go now is a bad move for them. Let him see 18A to the finish line and then if that's bad go ahead and fire him. Doing this now I just don't understand. Market reflects this too. If Pat couldn't turn Intel around.... yeah, get ready for team red and team green domination folks
I can imagine the inner turmoil between Steve's professionalism and his desire to get her to say the thing (it's what the people want - it gets the people going)
Intel really did Pat dirty, no other words for it But seriously, turning around a company that was as gutted and bloated at the same time as intel isn't something you do in a couple years, definetly in a market where the competition is doing as strong as AMD is. The board really seems to be the root of the cancer at Intel, and it will go down in history together with Boeing as great American economic and engineering icons that fell victim to the short term greed of shareholders. I commend the incredible work and effort Gelsinger put in to try new ventures and axe failing ones, sadly some MBA bean counter will now reap some benefits of Pat's work and give the final push to bury the company into the ground.
Intel's problems started when the engineers failed to get off 14nm for a decade. It's not the board, it's not the finance department, it's not the accounting department, it's not the shareholders that created the problem, it's the engineers.
That might very well be the case. But it's reasonable to assume the finance guy has been chosen to stop the hemorrhaging. Whether it's also a good choice for turning the company around and remake it into an industry-leading innovator (which it hasn't been for at least the last one and a half decades, frankly) or whether this will be the job of a subsequent CEO has to be seen...
Rick Lenssen may as well have one of the coolest jobs in the world; imagine being employed by ASML, the only company in the world capable of producing lithography machines capable of this level of precision, just to create LEGO models of the machines. What a hero
my coworker behind me used to work at Intel. He told me insider story about former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger. My coworker said that money was appropriated in all of these unrelated industries that Intel should never have been in. Examples would be space programs, AI taxi air vehicles, and many more things. Once CPU sales slumped, the increased cash flow in all other areas caused issues for the company. Due to the 13th and 14th gen issues, the company had to start selling off these businesses that are now weighing them down. Pat was largely responsible for the undue diversification to a level that compromised Intel quite a bit. Seems like an interesting guy and well accredited as well. Interesting story about one of America's Giant Companies.
@RegenTonnenEnte he owns plenty of shares. Over 100k shares and over 500k shares indirectly for families etc. So yeah he's already rich and he will probably sell them which most would do in this situation. He won't have to ever worry.
the co-ceos are temporary. and it seems the board isn't intending to keep them based on a bloomberg article on them. also, if they're wanting to fix a culture problem rapidly (which is possible - intel has deep culture problems), you don't want an insider cursed with knowledge, but an outsider with a different perspective.
I knew people who worked with Pat Gelsinger in another company and they really liked him. Too bad things didnt go well for him. By the way, there were some interesting reports about the qualifications and the motives of some board members of Intel. Sounds toxic.
3:20 I found intels problem, they have vice presidents, senior vice presidents, and executive vice presidents all for just one department. Managers managing managers who manage managers who manage managers.
Corporate America is FILLED with incompetent managers, vice presidents and presidents whos only job is to look like they know what they’re doing to the other execs and then leave with a massive golden parachute while the company they left dies. These people are vultures.
The TSMC gaffe was obviously very bad and probably firing-worthy, but I feel like Intel going through 2 CEOs before the decade is half over in an industry where plans are made out years in advance is a worse sign than shadow firing Gelsinger
And it was such an obvious gaffe. TSMC has publicly stated previously that it saw it's new relationship with Intel as "temporary". Meanwhile AMD has bought Xilinx, which was a bit of a collaboration darling for TSMC, and grown to take nearly as much capacity as Apple (let's not get into the relationship between TSMC and Nvidia here, as that is one long-ass story arc). On top of this AMD has carried their own weight though the development process of direct-copper vertical chip bonding, and is now the biggest customer of the service. Going foundry on one side, being a competitor to a favored customer in the middle, but relying on TSMC to save your ass on the other side is like putting the knife on your own throat... So one stupid remark cost Intel all their profit on the entire Core Ultra lineup...
i am a Taiwanese, and here in Taiwan, we doubt that story... i mean... TSMC founder's comment for Pat is true.. and we did feel offended. One side, spreading out the idea in public that Taiwan is not a stable area, trying to hurt TSMC's credit. On the other side, outsourcing Intel's 3nm chip order to TSMC. This is not an honorable move from our perspective. But we do doubt the discount canceling story. Here in Taiwan, everyone knows TSMC's producing capacity is fully booked. Even Nvidia agreed that they accept TSMC to raise the price. So 40% off discount to Intel? That doesn't sound real. Plus, Nvidia and Apple's order amount is huge... Intel's order doesn't make Intel the top 3 customers...
@@drinkwoter it is TRUE if you consider the threat from China. But it is also hypocritical act when saying that and relying on TSMC at the same time. If Pat didn't place order on TSMC for Intel's surviving, and he said those words, then he would be still an honorable man.
Old-School RuneScape is still very successful even this many years later. In fact, it just broke a concurrent player count record yet again just a couple weeks ago and regularly spends time in the top 3 most-played MMOs alongside World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV...

He's got free membership for life and a few rare items they only gave to OG players.
As an ex intel fan boy, this makes me chuckle unnecessarily - the writing has been on the wall for a looong time. At the same time, AMD absolutely NEEDS competition. Last thing we need is an Nvidia in the GPU market and another "Nvidia" in the CPU market. Hope intel can turn their mess around. Return to making CPUs and not making shareholders happy.
Personally, I don't think this is a win even for people who hate Intel. It's especially bad for americans, because we spent all that money helping them get their new fabs up and running and now it's all gonna go in the toilet. Just in time for China to swoop in and gobble up "Chinese Taipei" as Trump still likes to call it.
Considering AMD had one foot in the grave after running in the reds for a decade straight, was 4 billion in debt even after selling their fabs for 4 billion, I think Intel can take a bit more of a stomping. AMD has only just broken 40% market share in desktop and is a lot lower than that in laptop. Wake me up and talk about competition when they are at 50% in all CPU segments.

A++, zero buyer's remorse, but also it was only ~$450 shipped soooooo very dumb but not seven grand dumb.
20:33 That "Biochemical 4RE" is probably a literal translation of the Chinese title for Resident Evil 4 RE. Using a game like that, which isn't very heavy in the ray tracing part in the first place, as a benchmark for ray tracing doesn't feel like a good sign.
Tbh I've yet to find a use for ray tracing and looking at the review benchmarks, anything past 1080p with a stable 60+ fps would require a 4080 super or a 4090. Without dlss ofc. Which, I mean if I want to have a high fps mush, why do I care about ray tracing again? So to get usable ray tracing in a few games where it looks significantly better than no ray tracing, I'd have to pay the equivalent of both consoles? No thanks, fam. RT remains a marketing operation.
@@olegshkurenko-0448 There is no way in hell Intel could let go of Fabs. That is the only saving grace of Intel now. Things are different now then it was a decade ago. You can't just catch up to competetion after you have fallen behind... Not to mention selling off the fab means US leadership in leading edge node is gone. It most likely could even trigger world war 3 because of Taiwan position with China. I am not being dramatic right now. Literally any single thing we use nowadays have a chip in it and it includes all the military components. Country would die to get that advantage. Chips are far far far more lucrative then oil nowadays. This is the kind of strategic resourse that country would galdly kill 50% of their population to gain. Imagine a country having all the control over 90% of a world resource which is used everywhere and can't even be replicated by anyone. Intel Fab will not die of. US will never let that happen. Unless Trump throw out the CHIPS act and decided to give up semiconductor industry to "own the libs".
06:35 i am a Taiwanese, and here in Taiwan, we doubt that story... i mean... TSMC founder's comment for Pat is true.. and we did feel offended.

Sorry, but Taiwan is not stable and everyone knows it. This isn’t Gelsinger’s random opinion. The most powerful country in the world has publicly declared it wants Taiwan back under its control. The US cannot and will not do anything to stop it because realistically it no longer has the conventional military power, nor industrial base to do anything. It will offer aide but there’s no guarantee of what will happen in Taiwan.
I'm interested in seeing where Intel GPUs go. Who knows, maybe they will be the new budget option for graphics. Wouldn't it be something if we had another decent option in the GPU space? More competition, more better.
When I upgrade my current computer and depending on what GPUs end up actually looking like when the mess is all said and done next year, I might just keep my current GPU for a bit and in that case perhaps buy a cheap Arc to toss in since I don't have an integrated GPU. Hopefully though in that case my BIOS would instead let me run this PC headless and I'd turn it into a NAS.
@@EkiToji Yeah, and I have personally had great luck with used graphics cards if your budget is really tight. I have gotten my 1650 Super, 3060, and 3090 all used, all still working after years of owning them. There are risks, but you will get better performance for your dollar.
Nowhere, the underlying arch is doomed. It's a Raja design. He's been chasing this idea, this theory, about GPU core design for about 15 years. AMD gave him a shot with the Fury, and it absolutely failed. It was much slower than theory suggested, it was hot, and it wouldn't clock. Sound familiar?
@@icedreamer9629 Potentially, just hoping is all. The landscape is very frustrating for me, so I want to be cautiously optimistic. I don't know where all this is going to go, but my hope is that things will get better within the next couple of years. Especially for people who have smaller budgets, as the market keeps climbing right now, especially from Team Green.
The thing is that the board of directors wanted Pat to fix their 10 year old shit within 4 years while the competitors are not slowing down. He tried his best: - Managed to ge the acts in US and EU. - Managed to get EUV machines fast - Managed to buy all the new High NA EUV machines for 1,5 year so that no one gets it and so that intel can close the gap - Managed to reduce the TDP usage of cpu by 50% - Managed to get proper GPUs for budget gamers. He has made proper decisions (excluding the tsmc comment), give the guy some slack. Most likely to board of directors want their bonus but Pat was thinking in long term.
Intel CEO getting kicked out really leaves me sad about the future. Competition is always good. Even if it is an old top dog! They still need to be competition...
I'm more of the AMD team but I hope that Intel recovers, brings excellent processors and excellent graphics cards to the market. Competition is good for consumers (when it doesn't speculate between companies obviously)
Under Gelsinger, Intel publicly made it known it's focus was in investment. They needed to catch up and overtake competitors, it was going to take time and money. This new leadership being obviously financially focused proves that the shareholders have bent the company over a barrel and are going to milk it dry until it collapses and is sold for parts.
I have no way to know for sure, but I'd guess Gelsinger was fired because of the huge face plant that 14th gen has been. The suddenness of it points to a particular triggering event, but the underlying problems are obvious
Suspecting it has to do with spinning off fabs, or at least the maximum part that the CHIPs act allows. Spinning their fabs would be the fastest way for intel to show better performance in the spreadsheets by massively cutting down their overhead and pump their stock. Since, again under the CHIPs act, Intel is forbidden from stock buybacks for another 3 years this is the only way for the board to make good money short term. This is pure greed, even if it means burning the company to the ground. Guess the board doesn't care at this point. They are looking to cash out and retire. Gelsinger on the other hand during his tenure doubled down on fabs as the way for Intel to get their feet on the ground again. This would probably not produce any meaningful financial results until 2030 and is quite risky but still seems like the only way forward. He certainly did better than the previous CEOs that did nothing for 10+ years expecting Intel to hold their monopoly in the CPU space.
Depends what fits under that "Arc graphics" label. It could just be the integrated arc gpus in Intel's newer cpus... If it's all of their products though, then I'm in there too and just as proud!
Gelsinger: He was brought in to make Wall Street happy. AMD was crushing it with an engineer CEO, so the board tried to copy them. Gelsinger was a yes-man and a brown noser. He rose through the ranks taking credit for other people's work and kissing the ass of whomever had power. Shocker, when you give someone like that control they don't know what to do; there's nobody to pass the buck to anymore. They never had any inherent talent apart from stealing from others. I've worked for people like him many times before, I am NOT shocked, even slightly, that it went nowhere. Intel has a massive culture problem, and won't make a good product until that fundamentally changes.
@@rosomak8244 a large company with a lot of employees is obligated by law to meet quotas. That kicks in at 500 employees. So it's not like they have a choice.
It is both semantically incorrect and philosophically retarded. I can't wait until Intel announces that every sitting member of the board and shareholder is CEO Truly debasement is 'no big deal' hence we all enjoy inflation presently,

Finance CEOs brought Intel to its knees. Engineer Pat tried to turn it around, but couldn't halt momentum enough. Bringing back marketing/finance as the head will be the death knell of Intel.
Sounds like these new finance/marketing folks are going to gut Intel and likely end up selling parts of it to Broadcom.

OH HOLY SHIT what?! 😂
Lol, I didn't realise it was her until I watched Dr Ian Cutress' video he released shortly after the announcement.
Plot twist of the century
Yup, media should just call her the Thanks Steve Lady.😂😂😂
that is no lady
While having the "Thanks, Steve" lady becoming the interim co-CEO for Intel is probably a terrible, TERRIBLE sign for the company, I can't help but find it hilarious and wonderful.
I just hope she has a good sense of humor and the first "marketing" move she makes is to get in touch with GN for an interview, during which she purposely drops some perfectly timed "thank's Steve"s when Steve least expects it.
Hope intel gets a engineer CEO as their "permanent successor", since, as we all know, marketers and salespeople just don't know how to run a tech company
Eh. Steve Jobs was probably the best salesman in history. And yet he managed to take a basically bankrupt company from nothing to squashing all of their competition.
A salesman could lead a tech company no problem. It's more so that all companies these days value mindless drones. These drones eventually work their way up the pyramid and try passing this mindless corpo speak nonsense as advertisement or actual policy. They don't know how to sell anything.
Just look at Tim Cook's leadership of the same company. Has that guy ever even said anything without a wall of corpo babble around it?
Do they even know how to run any company that actually have products? Not just marketing?
Nor airplane manufacturers. RIP Boeing.
Just wait for intel changing to a new "permanent" CEO every quarter.
Neither do socially deficient engineers
I'll admit... I think letting Gelsinger go now is a bad move for them. Let him see 18A to the finish line and then if that's bad go ahead and fire him. Doing this now I just don't understand.
Market reflects this too. If Pat couldn't turn Intel around.... yeah, get ready for team red and team green domination folks
Based on the market caps of the three, the industry already writes off Intel, already.😢😢😂😂. Seriously, who cares.
" Let him see 18A to the finish line "

I can imagine the inner turmoil between Steve's professionalism and his desire to get her to say the thing (it's what the people want - it gets the people going)
Intel really did Pat dirty, no other words for it
But seriously, turning around a company that was as gutted and bloated at the same time as intel isn't something you do in a couple years, definetly in a market where the competition is doing as strong as AMD is. The board really seems to be the root of the cancer at Intel, and it will go down in history together with Boeing as great American economic and engineering icons that fell victim to the short term greed of shareholders.
I commend the incredible work and effort Gelsinger put in to try new ventures and axe failing ones, sadly some MBA bean counter will now reap some benefits of Pat's work and give the final push to bury the company into the ground.
Too bad nothing happens to a board when they make decisions that cause the downfall of a company
Intel were lazy a long time ago. He did nothing to change that and indeed helped it die.
@@handlesarefeckinstupid yeah, yeah, source?
I think he did a lot for foundry, but the products side completely sucks compared to competitors and is worse off than before in my opinion
Intel's problems started when the engineers failed to get off 14nm for a decade. It's not the board, it's not the finance department, it's not the accounting department, it's not the shareholders that created the problem, it's the engineers.
With Finance CEOs taking over Intel I sense a new beginning of the 10nm++++++++ age
That might very well be the case. But it's reasonable to assume the finance guy has been chosen to stop the hemorrhaging. Whether it's also a good choice for turning the company around and remake it into an industry-leading innovator (which it hasn't been for at least the last one and a half decades, frankly) or whether this will be the job of a subsequent CEO has to be seen...

my coworker behind me used to work at Intel. He told me insider story about former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger. My coworker said that money was appropriated in all of these unrelated industries that Intel should never have been in. Examples would be space programs, AI taxi air vehicles, and many more things. Once CPU sales slumped, the increased cash flow in all other areas caused issues for the company. Due to the 13th and 14th gen issues, the company had to start selling off these businesses that are now weighing them down. Pat was largely responsible for the undue diversification to a level that compromised Intel quite a bit. Seems like an interesting guy and well accredited as well. Interesting story about one of America's Giant Companies.
Intel CEO retiring before he loses all his money lmao

He doesn't own the company.. he get's paid a salary
He owns plenty of shares and his smartest move would be to retire and sell them which is what most do in these situations. @RegenTonnenEnte
@RegenTonnenEnte he owns plenty of shares. Over 100k shares and over 500k shares indirectly for families etc. So yeah he's already rich and he will probably sell them which most would do in this situation. He won't have to ever worry.

also, if they're wanting to fix a culture problem rapidly (which is possible - intel has deep culture problems), you don't want an insider cursed with knowledge, but an outsider with a different perspective.
I knew people who worked with Pat Gelsinger in another company and they really liked him. Too bad things didnt go well for him.
By the way, there were some interesting reports about the qualifications and the motives of some board members of Intel. Sounds toxic.
where can I read the reports?
3:20 I found intels problem, they have vice presidents, senior vice presidents, and executive vice presidents all for just one department. Managers managing managers who manage managers who manage managers.
Corporate America is FILLED with incompetent managers, vice presidents and presidents whos only job is to look like they know what they’re doing to the other execs and then leave with a massive golden parachute while the company they left dies.
These people are vultures.
The TSMC gaffe was obviously very bad and probably firing-worthy, but I feel like Intel going through 2 CEOs before the decade is half over in an industry where plans are made out years in advance is a worse sign than shadow firing Gelsinger
And it was such an obvious gaffe. TSMC has publicly stated previously that it saw it's new relationship with Intel as "temporary". Meanwhile AMD has bought Xilinx, which was a bit of a collaboration darling for TSMC, and grown to take nearly as much capacity as Apple (let's not get into the relationship between TSMC and Nvidia here, as that is one long-ass story arc). On top of this AMD has carried their own weight though the development process of direct-copper vertical chip bonding, and is now the biggest customer of the service. Going foundry on one side, being a competitor to a favored customer in the middle, but relying on TSMC to save your ass on the other side is like putting the knife on your own throat... So one stupid remark cost Intel all their profit on the entire Core Ultra lineup...
i am a Taiwanese, and here in Taiwan, we doubt that story...
i mean... TSMC founder's comment for Pat is true..
and we did feel offended.
One side, spreading out the idea in public that Taiwan is not a stable area, trying to hurt TSMC's credit.
On the other side, outsourcing Intel's 3nm chip order to TSMC.
This is not an honorable move from our perspective.
But we do doubt the discount canceling story.
Here in Taiwan, everyone knows TSMC's producing capacity is fully booked. Even Nvidia agreed that they accept TSMC to raise the price.
So 40% off discount to Intel?

As an ex intel fan boy, this makes me chuckle unnecessarily - the writing has been on the wall for a looong time. At the same time, AMD absolutely NEEDS competition. Last thing we need is an Nvidia in the GPU market and another "Nvidia" in the CPU market. Hope intel can turn their mess around. Return to making CPUs and not making shareholders happy.
Personally, I don't think this is a win even for people who hate Intel. It's especially bad for americans, because we spent all that money helping them get their new fabs up and running and now it's all gonna go in the toilet. Just in time for China to swoop in and gobble up "Chinese Taipei" as Trump still likes to call it.

@@olternautthey've been in the CPU game for a long time and they haven't taken over yet.
Considering AMD had one foot in the grave after running in the reds for a decade straight, was 4 billion in debt even after selling their fabs for 4 billion, I think Intel can take a bit more of a stomping. AMD has only just broken 40% market share in desktop and is a lot lower than that in laptop. Wake me up and talk about competition when they are at 50% in all CPU segments.

It will offer aide but there’s no guarantee of what will happen in Taiwan.

I'm interested in seeing where Intel GPUs go. Who knows, maybe they will be the new budget option for graphics. Wouldn't it be something if we had another decent option in the GPU space? More competition, more better.
When I upgrade my current computer and depending on what GPUs end up actually looking like when the mess is all said and done next year, I might just keep my current GPU for a bit and in that case perhaps buy a cheap Arc to toss in since I don't have an integrated GPU. Hopefully though in that case my BIOS would instead let me run this PC headless and I'd turn it into a NAS.
@@EkiToji Yeah, and I have personally had great luck with used graphics cards if your budget is really tight. I have gotten my 1650 Super, 3060, and 3090 all used, all still working after years of owning them. There are risks, but you will get better performance for your dollar.
Nowhere, the underlying arch is doomed. It's a Raja design. He's been chasing this idea, this theory, about GPU core design for about 15 years. AMD gave him a shot with the Fury, and it absolutely failed. It was much slower than theory suggested, it was hot, and it wouldn't clock.

- Managed to buy all the new High NA EUV machines for 1,5 year so that no one gets it and so that intel can close the gap
- Managed to reduce the TDP usage of cpu by 50%
- Managed to get proper GPUs for budget gamers.

I'm more of the AMD team but I hope that Intel recovers, brings excellent processors and excellent graphics cards to the market. Competition is good for consumers (when it doesn't speculate between companies obviously)
Under Gelsinger, Intel publicly made it known it's focus was in investment. They needed to catch up and overtake competitors, it was going to take time and money.
This new leadership being obviously financially focused proves that the shareholders have bent the company over a barrel and are going to milk it dry until it collapses and is sold for parts.
I have no way to know for sure, but I'd guess Gelsinger was fired because of the huge face plant that 14th gen has been. The suddenness of it points to a particular triggering event, but the underlying problems are obvious
Suspecting it has to do with spinning off fabs, or at least the maximum part that the CHIPs act allows. Spinning their fabs would be the fastest way for intel to show better performance in the spreadsheets by massively cutting down their overhead and pump their stock. Since, again under the CHIPs act, Intel is forbidden from stock buybacks for another 3 years this is the only way for the board to make good money short term. This is pure greed, even if it means burning the company to the ground. Guess the board doesn't care at this point. They are looking to cash out and retire.
Gelsinger on the other hand during his tenure doubled down on fabs as the way for Intel to get their feet on the ground again. This would probably not produce any meaningful financial results until 2030 and is quite risky but still seems like the only way forward. He certainly did better than the previous CEOs that did nothing for 10+ years expecting Intel to hold their monopoly in the CPU space.
Wish you guys would do a video on scalpers, and how retailers are doing little to combat them!
