Maybe Intel just needs a Taiwanese CEO? ; )

    Maybe you’re right about Gelsinger. I’ve seen him spew BS but figured he does it because he has to, that Intel has been fundamentally broken for decades, and that he was as a good a CEO choice as they could have made.

      he was as a good a CEO choice as they could have made.

      I’m not so sure, with the scandals of crashing Intel CPU’s we have now, both their CPU line and their production is getting extremely poor PR.
      I suspect Gelsinger pushed unfinished products, because he is desperate for results, and now Intel seems worse off than when he took over reputation wise. Gelsinger is losing both money and PR value on 2 fronts for Intel now.

      Intel used to have a pretty stellar reputation for reliability, especially in the server market. It seems to me they have little left to build on now.
