Lol... Intel is famously stingy when it comes to salaries.
- HDThoreaun 3y agofor a trillion dollars though... eventually you have to believe Pat gets fired and replaced by someone who is 100% all in on GPUs if he can't figure this out
- UncleOxidant 3y agoI'd argue that Intel being stingy with salaries is a big part of why they're so behind here. They just don't seem to be very serious about this. Intel has made several runs at the GPU market over the years and they just keep ending up where they are. And now NVDA has such a huge advantage (software and hardware) that it just gets harder and harder (and more expensive) to overcome. Probably Intel's best bet now would be to try to be the fab for NVDA.
- orzig 3y agoMaybe everything changes at $1 trillion, but I definitely see smaller (but public) companies leaving money on the table because it would require cultural change.
- i_have_an_idea 3y agoYou have no idea. There are a lot of senior engineers at NVDA making 7 figures total comp annually. How many are there at Intel?
- paulmd 3y agoIntel has senior engineers who received two and three digit retention bonuses this year, on top of the 20% pay cut. Principals usually broke into the three digit range from what I hear.
