For me, Intel needs to buy Oxide or Sidero.
And commit to building a simple, powerful, enthusiast/startup friendly platform for running mini-clouds at home/on-premise. And start bringing tech like Optane, Tofino etc to developers so they can get better price/performance than the soon to be ARM dominated cloud.
- newsclues 2y agoIntel is already an investor in oxide https://www.intelcapital.com/investing-in-oxide-unlocking-cloud-benefits-for-on-prem-data-centers/ https://www.intelcapital.com/investing-in-oxide-unlocking-cl...
- klelatti 2y agoDidn't 'Gelsinger era' Intel abandon Optane and Tofino? And listening to the most recent Oxide podcast [1] I can't think the Oxide team would want to stay long at Intel unless the new CEO took radical action.

- threeseed 2y agoOptane died because none of the cloud providers were really interested in it. Which meant no developers could really develop for it so you're in a vicious circle. It's why I think they need to have some way for people to easily use their tech at home/on-premise.
- klelatti 2y agoThere is an interesting discussion on Optane on the Oxide podcast that I linked to. Long story short Oxide was interested but Intel's culture of secrecy got in the way. Not surprised the cloud providers weren't interested either.
- dmead 2y agoThis is scope creep. Intel needed to release stable products. They aren't/can't.
