>As for no more dwelling on past decisions, that is the same thing as Intel's cultural value of "Disagree, but then commit." You mean the company who is flailing in the market, losing employees and generally considered a bad place to work? >"See, I told it wouldn't work" is about the most immature and unhelpful attitude to have - no matter how correct it may be. Blame free post mortems are vital for an organization to grow and improve with time. If you cannot review past bad decisions and learn from then then you will be forced to repeat the same mistakes while your competitors evolve. >but it undermines everything if someone keeps harping on a prior decision. If accepting a mistake was made and then publicly coming up with a plan to not have it happen again undermines your ability to lead then you are a horrible leader.

Oh please. Intel may not be the legend it once was but that hardly invalidates a value first forged some 40 years ago.

  Intel has enough cash to finance a possible comeback down the road. I'm shocked at how people seem to minimize their future options.

    Not only does Intel have the cash, but it has a quarter century of fab capitalization left and a history of come backs, first with the shift from memory to CPUs in the 80s and then overcoming AMD in the 2000s. Ironically, Intel's biggest safety net is spinning off their fabs like AMD spun off Global Foundries, which gave them the capital to claw themselves back from the grave and create this competition for Intel today. I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen an Intel chiplet design. We're seeing shortages of chips made on everything from 30 year old processes to cutting edges fabs and that demand is likely to be relatively sticky going forward. Intel's going to have to try even harder than it is now to fail and it's going to take decades for the dust to settle, if it ever does (hello Intel Business Machines).
