  • he was as a good a CEO choice as they could have made.

    I’m not so sure, with the scandals of crashing Intel CPU’s we have now, both their CPU line and their production is getting extremely poor PR.
    I suspect Gelsinger pushed unfinished products, because he is desperate for results, and now Intel seems worse off than when he took over reputation wise. Gelsinger is losing both money and PR value on 2 fronts for Intel now.

    Intel used to have a pretty stellar reputation for reliability, especially in the server market. It seems to me they have little left to build on now.





  • There is nothing remarkably easy with making a good 7nm chip.
    But you know what is remarkably easy by comparison?
    That’s sending a man to the moon. The process of making modern chips are way harder to develop, than the technology for a manned mission to the moon.

    What makes you think China won’t beat TSMC? When TSMC once was a newcomer too, that nobody thought would ever beat IBM, DEC, Sun, AMD and definitely not Intel.

    What’s the difference between TSMC beating everybody else, and China with about 60 times the ressources doing the same to TSMC? I know TSMC had help early on, but China has long since surpassed those initial stages.

    This attitude that China can never beat the west is naive, and it’s potentially destructive, as it grossly underestimates a rising economy, with a population more than 4 times bigger than their main rival.

    Anti monopoly and regulations against anti competitive practices are cornerstones of capitalism ensuring free and fair competition.
    So no, what we need is a return back to when these practices weren’t allowed, away from allowing these things more than ever as we do now.
    It’s easy to see Russia has become an oligarchy, why can’t we see it’s happening to us too?
    But we can’t dismantle capitalism altogether, without creating an even bigger monopoly problem, the monopoly being corrupt governments like the soviet union and their 5 year plan economy, that very obviously wasn’t a very good concept.

    Maybe that’s what you meant, I’d just not call it anti-capitalism, when regulations are for the purpose of making capitalism work better.
    So just “regulation” is better.
