Intel warns of Q1 nosedive... and its shares follow suit

Intel execs this week painted a grim picture of early 2024, forecasting steep declines ahead for the company's core businesses. On the chipmaker's Q4 earnings call, CEO, Pat Gelsinger, focused on Intel's trajectory and long term goals in the fields of compute, AI, and semiconductor manufacturing. Unfortunately, Gelsinger's …

Microsoft to the rescue

Microsoft will make us dump a lot of good PCs with win10 EOL, so Intel will surely have a better year soon.

Re: Microsoft to the rescue

But Microsoft is trying to push Windows-on-ARM. That’s not going to help Intel.

Don't mention the CPU can also act as a heater in winter.

Rinse and repeat.

Still beating the Gelsinger horse

Why do Intel shareholders continue to hitch their cart to the dead Gelsinger horse? You would think it would be enough to see how VMWare shriveled on his watch, but no...

Shoe in for a job at Broadcom then.

Intel cut their own throat shipping processors that are USELESS for developers. I'm not about to buy their server-class hardware to do development, which means no Intel for me. Not until they come to their senses and release processors that get along with VM systems PROPERLY.
