The Resurrection of Intel Will Take More Than Three Days
- PaulHoule 2y agoWhat I've noticed about media coverage of Intel is that the media never stops blabbering about "AI and Data Center" revenue despite the Client being a bigger chunk of revenue -- looking at the charts, the AI and Data Center stuff is not growing faster than the client stuff. I think it's just further from readers experience so they'll accept more "high on their own supply" talk about data center as opposed to the lived experience that a 2024 craptop isn't much better than a 2014 craptop. What's ironic about it is that Intel won the data center because it won the client. It may lose the client because it is distracted by the data center. Intel shouldn't change one transistor for Facebook or AMZN because all it does is let Facebook and AMZN save money they can invest in making their own chips in the long term. Meanwhile client chips are filled up with fused-off and otherwise disabled or unusable features (why use SIMD instructions at all for general purpose software at all when you have to specialize them for each chip generation?) which cost money to fabricate which will get paid for either by the customer or the shareholders. It doesn't help at all that almost all tech journalists are dazzled or intimidated by Intel with the almost unique exception of Charlie Demerjian.
