They spun it off to avoid bankruptcy. Let's not pretend it was done for agile reasons. Intel's issues are unrelated, they simply ignored negative internal feedback which is a management problem.
- ClumsyPilot 7y agoEverything is a management problem one way or another.
- toast0 7y agoSure, they spun off fabs to keep themselves afloat. It seems to have worked, and now they're able to take advantage of the agility. I'm not saying Intel should spin out their fabs, I'm just saying not owning your own fabs has some advantages sometimes. Owning your own fabs also has some advantages sometimes; it's certainly been a historic advantage for Intel.
