In light of Gamers Nexus video today "COLLAPSE: Intel is Falling Apart" here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXVQVbAFh6I
I wanted to remind everyone that in 2015 Intel laid off thousands of workers and then engaged in discrimination to in order to spend millions on "Diversity" goals: Intel Allocates $300 Million for Workplace Diversity https://archive.is/LvtO3 and https://archive.is/trAnL
Now that Intel wasn't making stock market gains fast enough they booted Gelsinger and now we get to watch it burn.
2015 hurt, but honestly they tried and failed to innovate, and their chips frying under normal use (and trying to cover it up for a while) hurt a ton, so does the lack of bang for the buck.
Amd right now is just better, and Intel can come back like they did before (post bulldozer), but they're going to have a uphill battle thanks to a lot of bad choices over the last decade, and lack of customer faith to not fuck it up again.
