I wouldn't be mad about an Intel comeback. It fosters competition, and puts the US back on the map for fab production. What I'm suspect about is how this same team has managed to do this after flubbing and falling behind SO FAR in the past 5 years. It's going to take 2 generations for them to catch up on TDW to AMD, and the fact that they couldn't even release a half-decent graphics platform with ARC really makes me suspect about these claims. Their products are terrible, they're getting slammed on all fronts from every other chip manufacturer, and they can't seem to get a solid win in any major datacenter deals since 2020. We'll see what happens, but until things start rolling out of these processes...eh.
I think ARC is a good thing. It's pretty bad performance wise but it's a new manufacturer in this field. There may be more competition for AMD and Nvidia which is always good for the consumer.
I suppose it is very hard to enter that market at this point and they still did it.
Their CEO went from a businessman to an engineer.
I’m pumped about a comeback and it’s what I’ve been hoping for since Gelsinger came back. I’ve always been more Team Red, but a strong Intel is good for consumers, the industry and the USA. Last time they were down for any extended period, they rolled out the Core 2 Duo and had some really great stuff for a number of years after. I want to be blown away by a new chip like we were back then.
Where did you hear that they've been having trouble securing larger contracts?
AMD is selling large quantities in almost every earnings report. Intel...nope.
I agree. Intel is floundering on almost every front right now. Half serves em right for price gouging processors for over a decade, but both amd and nvidia need some competition.
