Intel Corp (INTC)

Well, I was being sarcastic. :)

More recent events give people more vivid memory. I thought those "screw-ups" of the past were much worse!

Unlike 386/486SL, Timna never became a real product, and we got Dothan and future across-the-board P-M out of it.

I am not sure if there has been anything remotely comparable to FDIV.

I also had a different view on Tejas:

Intel was going through iterations of chipsets when Intel entered this market. The most recent recall was discovered early, whereas i820 caused a $200 million reserve.

I think the real screw-ups would be something like why did Intel allow Microsoft to create an OS.


From Warren Buffett: "In the short run, the market's a voting machine, and sometimes people vote very unintelligently. In the long run, it's a weighing machine, and the weight of business and how it does is what affects values over time."
