Pretty sure Intel is still alive and their problems are systematic from many years ago when AMD released Bulldozer and Intel decided it can stop innovating. So don't think they fit here.
They’re failing because they hired a string of accountants as CEOs. Undoubtedly they conceded to Wall St pressure to sacrifice research and engineering funding to goose short-term profits. 4 of those and there’s no recovery from that nose dive.
Tomato tomato.
That's an interesting statement. So let's go like 15 years ago. What short-term profits were they pursuing? And how can you call them short-term when those profits lasted for so long?
