World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

He reversed some long term decisions by his predecessor which may or may not turn out to be disastrous. Gelsinger set up a few things that would only start being fruitful many years later. If his successor slashes them, which seems likely, then most if not all the layoffs will have been for nothing.
Like..?
Gelsinger went all in on the foundry part of the company with visions of production facilities in the US and EU. Since he started the process a significant amount of investment has been put into it, knowing it wouldn't start paying off many years later. But then Intel got stuck on 14nm delaying these plans and, well, you know the rest.
Oh ye. I just now read your comment again ( while being fully awake ) and ye its the previous ceo gelsinger that made it go downhill faster. though intel has been going down even before him.
But ye, current ceo had to reverse that course because the fab didnt even end up that efficient and was still losing them money :/
So the his idea failed and cost the company billions?
It's always the last CEO'S fault.
Intel turned out the deal to supply chips for the iPhone on 2007, come 2017 Ryzen processors started matching/beating Intel chips at a lower price point. Then Intel bought Habana to try to get into the AI market essentially, and made the announcement in 2024 that they couldn't compete with that NVIDIA made.
So they were losing at GPUs, CPUs, and basic chip manufacturing to Samsung and TSMC.
Then earlier this year they hired this guy after they had already run into an iceberg and the ship was sinking.
They can't just throw a patch on the Titanic, they have to build a new ship.
I expect to see Intel drop off the map and throw everything into research and development hoping for the next big thing.
