Intel Corp (INTC)

[mas]

Since Grove all the CEOs have been hit and miss. The fundamental problem is that all the original innovators that created Intel have long passed to be replaced by career technicians whose innovative strategic prowess has never been proven on a grand scale and are found wanting when promoted to the big seat. Apple is having similar problems now that their great innovator has left the mortal coil.

PS all of those BK character faults could have been surmised from his ridiculous flip-flopping on mobile chips so i was not surprised by any of that interesting detail in that pdf. Even now I can't believe after all the money and time spent in getting atom to be respected and sold as serious tablet/phone competitors to arm chips he just abruptedly dropped them all when airmont at least would still have been competitive in some market segments and the other divisions would have paid for the die process giving Intel an innate cost advantage over its fabless competitors. BK is a bigger clown than Ronald McDonald !
