Intel Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Financial Results

Alder Lake was the one good Intel product line in over a decade of mediocrity.

As long as it keeps working fine, i will keep it even when i upgrade.

You are absolutely right. This is also the hardest aspect of the industry for both tech site staff and computer enthusiasts to understand. The interworkings of semiconductor fabrication industry requires the fab and fab customer to almost be surgically joined at the hip. The constant news articles about IFS getting customers and becoming like TSMC came from a place of pure ignorance. Even some of these industry insiders and readers leave comments about how TSMC helps AMD with technological development of their products. How on freaking earth was that supposed to be the case between Intel and AMD or even Intel and Nvidia or Intel and Apple, etc. etc.

There are other cases of chip makers opening their fabs to competitors: Samsung and IBM come to mind. Recall that Apple used both Samsung and TSMC for its chips until the iPhone 7.

At the time, i had read up about C2D and realised it was a stormer, i actually sold my pretty good(at the time) AMD rig and bought a Intel board and a pentium4 waiting for C2D. All my mates thought i was insane, then C2D came out and devastaded AMD, when i bought a C2D chip, my system was a corker and blew theirs out of the water. Guess what.........They all switched to Intel setups.

Intel certainly need something. I am not a E core hater either, some people just do not understand the point of them, if the OS and board was properly setup and working for them, they would be amazing. I really hope Intel can get themselves out of the doldrums. For now though i will stick with my 12700k setup as it has been the most stable PC i have had running for 4years with not a single BSOD, and that is no lie.

I haven't had a BSOD on my Phenom II in 15 years.

I cannot say that any of all the AMD cpus I had ever gave me any problems. I'm talking as far back as the original Athlon.

Then again, neither did the Intel that I got in between.

Foundries revenue was 17.543B, but they lost 13.4B.

Foundries aren’t expected to show an operating profit until the end of 2027, so yes?

There is no foundry. Intel is playing financial reporting tricks with IFS to make it seem like its a separate company but its not. All of IFS expenses are just Intel corporation expenses. All IFS revenue (save a few hundred million) is from Intel as a ‘customer’. It’s smoke and mirrors trying to trick the likes of AMD, Nvidia, Apple, Qualcomm, etc to use their fab services. No one’s, and I mean NO ONE’S buying it.
