Intel Corp (INTC)

f more sane decisions had been made about Prescott's scope and schedule back during its planning and inception in the 2000/2001 timeframe, the general opinion about Netburst might very well be much different today. While I don't blame Barrett for Prescott specifically (I reserve that blame for the division VP at the time, who was thankfully "retired" during the recent manager cut), I do blame him for taking his eye off the ball, and taking for granted all of the risks that must be assessed before approving a project as complex as a bleeding-edge processor design.

In essence what I said. I was just wrong about who was in charge at the time.
