    If he said, “Every Thursday I do a 24-hour voodoo dance and shake my magic rattle,” he would be called a loon.

      “people who confirm to the majority culture are considered more normal than those who don’t” thanks for that insight.

        The CEO of a company asking his employees to fast and pray with them is absolutely not the majority culture nor is it normal. That’s fucking weird. This guy is a loon

          Two thirds of American adults identify at Christian. That’s about 3x the total number of people who practice Voodoo worldwide. So yeah Christian practices are “normal” to most an Americans and Voodoo isn’t…

            Christian practices have nothing to do with the idea of a CEO telling you to fast and pray. That’s not normal. You can dance around it all you want but it’s fucking weird.

              Those are literally core tennets of Christianity. It doesn’t matter if I think it’s weird, or you think it’s weird, most people are gonna be ok with it.

                No, most people are not okay with it. We don’t live in a theocracy. It ain’t normal. Stop trying to normalize it.

                  I’m just trying to figure out what you mean by “Christian practices” that doesn’t include a prayer or fasting.

        The only ones “sick in the head” are the fucking psychopaths who run this country. They kill millions of people each year for the sake of profit, and yet I never hear media calling them “sick in the head”. By DSM definition , they would be psychopaths. A legitimate mental illness. And I have zero sympathy for those who take advantage of their fellow humans for their own selfish benefits. In any normal society, they would not be allowed to exist. And when the functioning of a society is not being fixed through non-violent methods, what else are we supposed to do? I’m genuinely asking.

        If I am “sick in the head”, then so are many, many others. And if many others feel the same way I do, then that means it is not the individual who is “sick”. It is society that is “sick”. And sometimes the only way to beat a parasitic infection is to crank up the heat and get rid of them. So I think it’s time we crank the heat up and start demanding a society that puts the human spirit first instead of profits for the few.

        **responding here to your deleted comment calling me “sick in the head” since I can’t respond to a deleted comment.

        Dumbfucks that failed upwards and then started kicking apart our nation’s support systems.

        Especially when they try get me to pray and fast with with them so I forget that they did it.

    In 2013, Gelsinger co-founded Transforming the Bay with Christ (TBC), a coalition of business leaders, venture capitalists, non-profit leaders and pastors that aims to convert one million people over the next decade. He helped establish the Sacramento-area Christian institution William Jessup University from which he also received an honorary doctorate.

    I don’t even know what I’d do as CEO.

    Pat’s direction was spot on. Cut “side” divisions to focus on their core, stick with long term bets most CEOs wouldn’t (like the GPU division) and try to cut the delays.

    …But the delays keep coming!

    If they just can’t launch products on time with whatever rot is in the company, I’m not sure what Intel is supposed to do.

    …So whoever they hire as CEO now is probably there to just distribute golden parachutes and eat the company as it dies :/

      Maybe being transparent about their manufacturing defects would have been a good start.

      This is assuming there isn’t some gold in the pipeline. Timeline on a new CPU design is about 8 years from first drawings to actual silicon hitting media test benches, meaning whatever was started in 2019 and 2020 could be absolutely killer and just cooking to perfection in the R&D oven…assuming R&D was kept sufficiently funded and the engineering talent retained to see such a process through

        Their CPUs are mostly fine now. The “small” cores are very competitive in servers because they are so small for their perf, and TBH that desktop drama was marketing clocking the CPUs way too high to squeak out 4% more benchmark performance.

        It’s… everything else that’s the problem, as work is increasingly shifting away from CPUs. They are totally screwed if they cut funding for Arc, in particular, or if they don’t secure any real fab customers.

          Oh yeah real talk they’ve got some killer datacenter chips, be that networking, CPU or GPU. They’re continuing to work on bleeding edge technologies for hyperscalers, and they’ve got no shortage of insane potential. But when they release two generations of desktop processors with hardware bugs it really puts a heck of a stain on such a stellar portfolio and makes it a lot easier for enterprises to look at AMD for their datacenter and client processors (especially when they’re absolutely killing it like they have been in both segments!)

            Eh Intel’s data center GPUs suck. Gaudi was okay, but gained no critical mass and is being phased out, Xe-HPC is being phased out and was hardly used anywhere, even Falcon Shores keeps getting delayed and looks to be in trouble going by statements about focusing on “consumer inference.” They seem dead in the water here, which is very worrying.

            The MI300X is actually good, but AMD totally blew it by ignoring a few glaring software issues and not seeding development with consumer GPUs, hence it’s not gaining much traction. The MI300A (the big APU) basically isn’t available or cost effective in any cloud instances.

    Something tells me his name has been added to some vigilante list with the current CEO climate.

    How tone deaf can you be?
