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.
