USA should just nationalize Intel, if it’s actually as important to national security as they say. Left to their own devices they will self destruct
The ideal state is some kind of bastardized hybrid, federally funded and guided but still private.
This is how TSMC rose.
It’s also kinda how Samsung Foundry exists, with how Samsung is so giant and tied to SK politics that’s it blurs the line with the govt.
Trump is going in the opposite direction unfortunately, regulating the shit out of them in terms of policy (tariffs, politics), yet yanking grants and “freeing” the government of them.
Surely 100% tariffs on chips will boost national production, right?
Which is great for TSMC opening new fabs in the US too lol
Too much enterprise hardware depends on these for them to go orphaned for very long
I need to ask; why is Intel letting these people go, apparently shutting down Linux support?
To expand on what others said, there has been tons of corporate dysfunction at Intel.
Some hardware efforts have gone pretty well, and had decent long-term trajectories but were sabotaged by direction changes or early cuts from up high. There seems to be some corporate “game of thrones” going on between branches too, and a lot of redundancy on the software dev side.
AMD has a similar issue actually, and it’s starting to bite, especially on the GPU side.
