Man, this really does seem like a replay of their FDIV mess (IIRC). I was really hoping that Pat Gelsinger would restore some of Intel's respectability. This

  I had high hopes for Pat Gelsinger too. I suspect most management expects the consequences of short-sighted corporate culture to manifest in products as maybe a 1% failure rate within 90 days of sale, not a 25%+ failure rate slowly manifesting over more than a year. The former is the cost of doing business, the latter is an existential problem. I suspect Gelsinger didn't know about it and lower management buried it thinking it was a <1% problem, and he's only found out about it as it's become clear what a massive problem it is. All just speculation though.

  When Gelsinger promised (in 2021) zettaflop systems by 2027, although there is still time, it seemed so absurdly optimistic that it is hard to trust anything he says. However, I think people really want to give him a chance on his long term plans to make Intel competitive again.
