I had the same thought. Sad to see a company with such brilliant engineering being undermined by it's management.
Intel was always run by some of the biggest wolves of industry. They’ve been caught and have been made to pay fines for bribery, and a multitude of other anti-competitive practices.
They’ve never been able to shed this image of themselves when Dell finally grew the balls to expose their bribery they were subjected to disguised as rebates.
Now we have them backed into a corner like dogs, while they embarrassingly scramble due to their hibernation thinking they were going to keep mainstream consumers rocking 4-core CPUs for another decade or something.
The 10-series launched recently, requiring yet another new motherboard upgrade. It’s built on the same 14nm process that started with Skylake coming in nearly half a decade ago. Unbelievable.
How sad really, the 10-series should have been the 10nm nodes debut. Instead that looks to be more distant every single release.
