    It does sound like most of that was not actually manufacturing, but design.

      If you’re referring to the 13&14th Gen chips then yes, Intel is saying it’s on the software side.

      But if you’re talking about 10th Gen chips that took forever to get out of the gate due to issues with sub 14nm lithography, then no it’s a hardware issue. Intel has had issues over recent years with actual die shrinks.

        Yes, I was, but there was also some initial manufacturing issue with oxidation. That wasn’t the bulk of the issues that they were running into, though.

        Regardless, it feels like what we see with Boeing. A company culture that prioritized marketing and time to market over everything else consequences be damned.

        Move fast and break stuff is probably not the best strategy if you are building airplanes or processors or other PhD level stuff… Or maybe it’s just never a good strategy.

          Yeah nice fast and break things is a great way to maximize short term profits at the expense of the long term. But fuck it, I got mine in the short term, so it works.

              Breach my man… But I got destroyed by the reddit normie brigade for such claims before.

              They said that would make it communism… But giving rich clowns money is some how capitalism?

              Their brain get broken in this 🐸

                I think it’s just very capitalistic.

                Look you need money and/or protection, else you go bankrupt. We can provide these but there is a cost. And since you cannot refuse, we get to dictate terms… Our terms are “a controlling interest”.

                Alternatively we allow you to go bankrupt and then buy the bankrupt organisation for even less.
