A PC centric company that's delusional about being a data centric company
The problem is, Intel is still a PC company, but it thinks it is a data company.
If you analyse revenues and profits, they almost entirely come from processors for PCs and servers (datacenter is trendier).
Based on this, what did Krzanich do since promoted at the helm?
A. Ignore the main business, resulting in Intel not only loosing its manufacturing edge, but imminently being inferior to the competition.
Intel's answer to Spectre and Meltdown was a disgrace, and the company still hasn't a solid plan for new Spectre & Meldown -proof chips.
B. Spend his time on crap: fashiony wearables, trendy chief creative officiers singers, tech du jour drones: do you spot a trend here?
C. The zero consistency guy: launching projets and killing them 6 to 12 monthes after. Just look at the disgusting history of Intel offerings for makers/IoT. Intel had a golden opportunity to leverage its brand and image to grab a sizeable share of a market with way too many chips, way too many development platforms, zero security. Instead, it offered no support to the few betting on its chips, and changed its story every six months.
