I’m hoping Intel keeps their GPU division as they basically get free driver development support from the community but yeah, there’s a good chance this is getting axed

This is probably true and will be the death-nell of Intel.

GPU/FPU has been driving the success of the companies eating Intel’s lunch. If Intel stops on this front, they’re Texas Instruments all over again.

I’m guessing it’s the Wifi business that’s going to be sold. Also, the prefabs might be spun off. But Intel still needs a GPU division, if at the very least just for integrated GPUs, but we might see the end of dedicated Intel GPU’s as they pivot to compete against AMD’s APU’s.

That’s my take, at least.

Cool, if they’re cutting stuff out and selling factories, their days are numbered. Good riddance. That’s what you get for selling everyone the same fucking cpu from about 2010-2020, only bothering to change the pin counts just to sell more motherboards.

They fucked around and found out. Whatever their cost cutting is will now make or break the company. If it’s GPUs, they will commit to clawing at their CPU share. If it’s CPUs (which sounds like the wildest plan), Nvidia might finally have to stop fucking around.

We’ll see, but it’s a very important decision and it will take them years to catch up to whatever they are committing to

Here’s the problem, I am not quite sure if they do or do not have a division of fine aged meats. Like if this was P&G, yeah they most definitely have a Div Fine Aged Meats, but Intel, I would have to look that up. And the fact that I would have to look that up to be certain that Intel doesn’t have a DFAM, well that’s just scary.

So no more executives and middle managers? Sounds like a good plan

Best we can do is no raises and chopping operation expenses by half.
