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.
Absolutely, they're collapsing now because their consumer chips are just inferior to AMD these days, and to be inferior now means somewhere up to the last decade of development has been severely mismanaged. Nothing gives shittier results than suddenly stuffing the middle ranks with diversity hires and now those chickens have come home to roost.
Also the way they've fucked their reputation recently by shipping defective chips and sloppily trying to cover it up is a classic "diverse" manager move who only thinks of consequences when they're just a few hours ahead.
