Is there any evidence that Intel has fixed its process problems? Otherwise aren’t they building a $20B liability?

- acomjean 5y agoI think they're doing ok. I don't follow too closely, but 11th gen intel mobile is behind AMD. The good new for intel is they're not so far behind this generation that no one will buy their chips. Intel have new management and some optimism and by the time the plant is finished in 2-3 years they'll have their ducks in a row, but who knows what the market will be like then. In a bad scenario they could be a end up a bulk supplier to other companies of close to state-of-the-art chips, which might be an ok place to be.
- comeonseriously 5y agoSo many of the AMD laptops I see are geared towards gaming. Makes sense in that they're powerful, but I wish there were more options for general purpose lightweight laptops.
- thehappypm 5y agoIf you look at many applications that are absolutely guzzling chips -- automotive, appliances, IoT -- you don't need cutting edge chips. Cheap and fast enough is a great market niche. Especially when "fast enough" is state-of-the-art from 5 years ago.
