I'm curious to see if Gelsinger can fix Intel's 127x fiascos (there are multiple). It's not like the process engineers are sitting around scratching their butts, they are on call nonstop and I know two that have quit due to pressure. He can't drive the engineers any harder, so how is he going to fix it?
- ac29 6y agoFor those not in the know, the 127x processes include Intel's 10nm, 7nm, and 5nm manufacturing. I had to look it up. I'm under the impression 10nm is largely working by now, it just took a long time to become competitive with Intel's ultra optimized 14nm process. Supposedly they have already shipped 100K+ units of Ice Lake Xeon Scalable CPUs: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16539/intel-ice-lake-xeon-scalable-shipments-to-date-30-customers-100k-units https://www.anandtech.com/show/16539/intel-ice-lake-xeon-sca...
- ahartmetz 6y agoSmarter, not harder, seems to be the solution ;) Like, say, giving the engineers more say in the goals for the next process(es) to make them achievable. Talking, not ruling.
- SavantIdiot 6y agoThat statement is cliche for a reason: because there's no way to make the distinction and is entirely subjective. I want to hear his concrete actions from my friends that are still fighting the good fight and haven't quit.
