This is 3rd hand, but I heard that the 14nm was rushed with a crazy schedule, and as a result the greybeards who actually knew everything all left. Intel is having to rebuild all that institutional knowledge from scratch again.
- stormbeard 6y agoAny idea where most of them went?
- ksec 6y agoLikely Retired.
- lallysingh 6y agoAre some of them making belt CPUs?
- lallysingh 6y agoSounds like they should've sent them "please take me back" bouquets with a stack of cash instead of fruit.
- rosywoozlechan 6y agoThey'd be stupid to accept it. Don't work at a place with a bad culture for the money. Unless it's life changing money for a very short duration, it's unlikely to be worth it. Value your quality of life.
- jjoonathan 6y agoEspecially if you have little time and enough money -- like a career-end engineer.
- thu2111 6y agoThe account I just read (linked from the other thread) suggested it was more just that they happened to set really ambitious targets and make a lot of big bets in 10nm, some of which simply did not pan out. Sounds like they may have ended up in a situation where diagnostic and investigation tooling also wasn't working properly due to the use of cobalt, so they'd have ended up with fabrication failures that were then difficult to investigate, as the debugging tools also weren't working. Painful.
- AgloeDreams 6y agoKinda like trying to debug an issue in a large JS SPA on IE11's F12 tools, bad, inaccurate test data is a 10X slowdown.
- snovv_crash 6y agoIMO, that sounds exactly like the greybeards weren't there to advocate for "one step at a time" and "get the debug tools working first".
