The problem with Intel is:
1. They don't pay - Nvidia/Google/Apple easily pays 1.5-2x Intel before appreciattion.
2. They're cheap/beaurcratic. The office sucks, your laptop sucks.
3. They suck at software. https://pharr.org/matt/blog/2018/04/18/ispc-origins https://pharr.org/matt/blog/2018/04/18/ispc-origins
4. They can't develop/retain talent. Half the ML-HW/FW teams at AMD/Google/Nvidia/Apple are ex-Intel.
- Panzer04 3y agoHow is that indicative of not developing talent? Sounds like they have a fairly robust pipeline if so many end up working at other companies... (Retention notwithstanding :P)
- andromeduck 3y agoThey lost most of their talent in the early/mid 2010s but you're right to an extent for non-software. For software they're not a terrible place to accumulate domain specific knowledge but don't really retain people long enough or promote quick enough to make a difference.
