DavenLet’s hope a leaner, more focused Intel can improve product quality and bring new technologies to the market.

ChaitanyaWont happen until old staff inc CEO are kicked out who think Intel is too big to fail.

Vayra86Looks like trendforce has invented time travel, looking at gross margin there.

Quite an achievement and certainly an example of dedication and quality right there. Maybe Intel should buy Trendforce, this way they never have delays. Or maybe its a small jab at Intel's progress :)

Vya DomusStrange decision, they must anticipate a need for a lot of capital in the near to distant future.

Dr. DroIsn't this criticizing Intel for the sake of criticizing Intel, though? Selling your entire stake in a company like ARM is diametrically opposed to thinking Intel is too big to fail - it's actually seeing it stumble and being well on its way to the ground if it keeps that up

Nomad76The move is surprising, at least for myself and others, I wonder why Arm, why not selling anything else from "Astera Labs, Joby Aviation, MariaDB, and Senti Biosciences"? Is Intel expecting those to be on a recovering path? Will they sell them later? Achieving $10bn in savings is a huge task...

ScaLibBDPIs there another tech-company with So Many technological disasters, sells and product / project cancellations?

Here is a Short List:

- Itanium - cancelled / a complete disaster
- XScale ( ARM-based RISC architecture ) - sold to Marvel Technology Group ( mistake! )
- A line of smartphones with Intel CPUs - Stopped manufacturing / Intel could use XScale ( ARM-based RISC architecture instead of Intel processors using CISC architecture )
- Intel Xeon Phi - cancelled / a complete disaster / used Atom-based cores instead of Ivy Bridge-based cores ( mistake! ) / Worked on a project using an Intel Xeon Phi server and exceeded its capabilities in about 4 weeks
- A series of Many Integrated Core processors - cancelled ( these processors were Too expensive compared to NVIDIA GPUs )
- Purchased Altera ( FPGA technology ) to compete with AMD since it purchased Xilinx
- Sold Altera - failed to compete with AMD-Xilinx
- A complete disaster with process technologies smaller than 14 nm / process "chaos", like 14 nm, then 14+ nm, then 14++ nm, then 14+++ nm, then 14++++ nm, and so on
- RISC-V technology - cancelled ( mistake! )
- Inability to scale up and port Almost Perfect Integrated GPU technology to Discrete GPU technology in order to compete with NVIDIA and AMD GPUs for Data Centers
- OneAPI architecture - already over-complicated and will be cancelled in the future

Nomad76Intel reported cash and equivalents of $11.29 billion, with total current liabilities around $32 billion.

trsttteThey purchased Altera long before AMD even dreamed of being able to buy Xilinx (2015 vs 2022) and haven't sold it yet, they were supposed to do a public offering and spin it off but that hasn't happened yet. Altera is not a company that makes headlines often but i'd say the division is doing more than fine.

R0H1TYou say that it's like a knock on AMD? In 2014-15 AMD was on the verge of collapse & in 2020-21 they bought the FPGA industry leader! And where's Intel now, after doing at least $50 billion of stock buybacks?

DavenInteresting graphic but it is misleading. IFS only made about $100 million or so on third party chip fabbing not $4.3 billion. I'm really disappointed that Intel chose to use accounting tricks to make itself look good. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, just add all the bar graph segments up. It doesn't equal $12.8 billion revenue because Intel is double counting the cost of making it's own chips as if it were a third party customer of IFS.

remixedcatwhy sell stake in what's gonna be the dominant cpu arch and not sell some of their SaaS holdings ML holdings, sports broadcasting and other junk that aren't doing all that great ??
and this is just the list from 2015 on here's a link to the full list of them pissing away money that should have gone to foundry and their core mission en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitions_by_Intel
