you will not be disappointed
intel not getting too many of these http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release_html_b1?release_id=152882 any more
intel's survival...you are sounding pretty shrill
all in due course
in time no one will give intel "any credit" :)))
does look like intel succeeded in Osbourning its own crap while spurring price-volume market elasticity for AMD's great products
uuuuhhh....near exclusivity ?
typical
paul will call a news conference...say "WE SUCK" and give up, totally surrendering to AMD
no one listens to you
intel will probably surrender and cede the market to AMD...AMD has won !!!
someone with a clue: Intel to suffer more than AMD in price war, says IC Insights: http://www.fabtech.org/content/view/1702/2/
if eeple don't do it...HP or Dell will :)
how can an era end if it never actually got started
some of you who post regularly here have, no doubt, already received this memo:
To: All Intel employees
This week we’re taking an important and difficult step in our efficiency project: reducing the number of Intel managers by about 1,000 people worldwide. Only managers, ranging from senior to first-line, are affected. This step is important because it addresses a key problem we’ve found in our efficiency analysis—slow and ineffective decision-making, resulting, in part, from too many management layers. It is difficult because the managers who will leave the company are our colleagues and friends, and since we have limited internal job opportunities, redeploying their skills is not a viable option.
We are notifying the majority of impacted employees on Thursday and Friday this week, and (except where a country’s laws require different steps and timelines) we plan to have all affected employees informed by Monday, July 17. In the U.S., most employees’ last day of work will be July 28, and their benefits will include a minimum of about three months’ separation pay (and more for lengths of service over two years). In other regions the process and benefits will differ. While we can’t eliminate the impact to these employees, we’re committed to offering them support during this difficult time.
This manager reduction is one of the first major actions coming out of our structure and efficiency project, and I believe it’s an essential first step toward making us more competitive. Over the last five years at Intel, the number of managers has grown faster than our overall employee population. Our efficiency analysis and industry benchmarking have shown that we have too many management layers, top to bottom, to be effective.
In addition, this finding is consistent with what our organizational health surveys have suggested: that the relative increase in management has impaired decision-making and communication, reducing the company’s efficiency and productivity. Many of you have made the same point in your individual inputs to the efficiency team.
As I’ve said in previous Webcasts, one of the outcomes of the structure and efficiency project is that we’ll be a leaner and more agile company. We’ll make quicker decisions, collaborate better across the company, and enable a cost structure that allows us to continue to win in our extremely competitive industry as it evolves.
This manager action is one step along that path. Another was the decision to sell our communications and applications processor business to Marvell. We’ll continue to identify other opportunities, act on each one as soon as we can, and tell you about the changes as soon as possible. I’ll talk more about this and our business priorities in my employee Webcast on July 19 at 4 p.m. Pacific time.
In April I said that we had decided not to do an immediate “across the board” layoff, because that would be reactionary – focused only on the current environment rather than the long term strategic needs of our company. Instead, we chose to undertake a longer, more comprehensive project to analyze all of our operations and make strategic, data-driven decisions. That is still our plan. This manager reduction was the result of careful assessments of the management and leadership roles we need for our future success. We are in the process of fundamentally changing our behaviors and our structure for where our business and industry are going. You should expect that we will continue to take actions, including selective reductions, as we complete analyses and decisions about investments, expense levels and organizational structures. You should also keep in mind that at the end of this process we will still be the largest and most profitable semiconductor company on earth. Our actions are focused on ensuring that is true well into the future.
I know this is hard for all of us to internalize and accept. We have done extremely well over the past 25 years of the “PC era.” But we need to adjust now for where our industry is going. Competition will intensify across our product lines. Pricing will be aggressive. We should not only accept that reality, but recognize that it reflects the position we have earned in the industry and the strength of our strategic direction. Weak companies pursuing low-growth markets do not attract competition. Strong companies that have commanding positions and generate strong earnings growth are the ones that attract competition.
Our objective, and our destiny, is to refashion Intel now while we have the means and the time to do so, and ensure we continue to remain number one.
Paul
try to not move your lips as you read it over again
can she say GWAA COLE MOLEY
wait for the 23rd on that one :)
i know mas got it first...but, so what...it is worth repeating :)))
here...get hysterical over this: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=32628
sure:)
...According to Michael Apthorpe, technical manager, Australia and New Zealand, at AMD, the company’s new fabrication plant in Dresden, Germany, which came on line in October 2005, has already boosted capacity beyond the 30% point. Athorpe says the planned expansion announced at the beginning June will boost capacity even further....
http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/4749/53/
all of that idle capacity...what will AMD do...what will AMD do ???
I'm sure that Intel would still be pushing P4s today if it were not for AMD.
actually i suspect that the bigger plan was to replace pee4 with itanic and have no real competition at all.
i really do not think that the writer understands the story that he is reporting
YUP...it would seem that the only barrier is all of that sofware that would have to be rewritten...no biggee...did not block itanic, did it
sounds to me like Hector needs to have a talk to Henri
u whistle very well
not at all
as well as many correct ones
we thinks "...Yond Otellini has a lean and hungry look, however. He thinks too much. He believes that fair Merom, Cointreau and the Woodcrest chip can bring fair fortune's smile back to Intel's face. The channel is loyal to Intel, and Intel is as constant as the northern star...."
