Intel is in shambles. The whole 10nm thing is a fiasco at this point. Who could've pictured 10 years ago that Intel would've even considered outsourcing their fabrication? Intel's core strength was their seemingly unassailable lead in chip design and fabrication. From various articles over the years it seems that what's happened to Intel internally is fairly typical: internal fiefdoms, empire-building, turf wars and the like. This is something you have to actively prevent from happening. This is going to take someone with deep experience in fab engineering to figure out, not a bean counter. And it should probably involve a massive house cleaning of middle management. And no the answer isn't just another reorg. Unless you actively prevent it reorgs become a semi-constant thing. Every 3-6 months you'll be told how some VP in your management chain you've never heard of let alone or met now reports to some other VP you've never heard of or met. There'll be announcements about how the new structure is streamlined and better fits some new reality. And 6 months later you'll go through the same thing. This is a way of essentially dodging responsibility. Nothing is in place long enough for anyone to be accountable for anything working or not working.
