Great article, a nice short summary about the history of Intel.

One minor thing though:

Robert Noyce, who invented the microchip;

Co-invented, Jack Kilby is also recognized as inventor of the microchip, and Texas Instruments and Intel had a long legal battle about who should own the patent.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kilby

In a statement, Intel spokesman Cory Pforzheimer said Mr. Tan “has moved quickly to shape a new Intel and advance America’s leadership in technology and manufacturing.

I know it’s just a PR statement from Intel, but it’s a bit steep IMO.
AFAIK Mr Tan has mostly fired people and closed projects, I’m not sure if he has really “advanced” anything, and America for sure doesn’t have leadership in manufacturing anymore. Such statements by Intel just makes them look stupid and out of touch with reality.

That would be nice. 😀

Hi again, I just wanted to correct myself, I claimed earlier that China wants the Nvidia H20 chip, but apparently they don’t.
There are stories now that China is going all in on domestic chips for AI.

Paywall

Edit:
Thanks for the archive link. 👍

OK that could have been stated more clearly, but why should I be against Intel, because USA has used Cisco for spying?

That’s exactly the kind of stupid accusations without evidence I’m tired of USA making against China. Obviously the same standard goes the other way too.

And if Intel goes away, USA can still do it through AMD. 😋

Can you not see the crazy smiley? Clearly indicating the statement is crazy. It was sarcasm, but OK I’ll add the /S.

Also the part that USA did it for decades before China should clearly indicate the part above was sarcasm???

Yes but contrary to China, USA doesn’t use government subsidies to promote their own industries, or state owned companies to spy on the rest of the world. 🤪
/S

I hope Intel survives because a Chinese (mainland+Taiwan) monopoly will not be good, but I am so sick of American disinformation regarding China. Always blaming China for things USA has been guilty of for decades before China.

Go Bazzite, there has been a lot of talk about Bazzite lately, also on YouTube many have been reviewing it, like JayzTwoCents had a feature about it, which probably helped.
I haven’t tried it myself, but it’s great to see that it’s still possible to shake up the Linux community with a new approach.
Congratulations and best of wishes. 👍 🎈

Correct, not all things that matter are positive.

But it’s the 5% we need to focus on.

The same was true for YouTube, in the beginning they operated at a loss, and when people were hooked on the service, they monetized it.

As a non native English speaker, I found the “pilot” thing a bit confusing. But:

pilot = pilot program

And then it made sense.

Anyways I think it’s not so much the 95% that fail that matter, it’s the 5% that succeed.

you gave no proof

WTF! I gave a timed link to Gamers Nexus CLEARLY demonstrating LTT posting videos with similar conflict of interest.
And I gave examples of how payment as “sponsor” which was the method he mostly used, omitting the sponsor part in his reviews, gave exactly the result I claimed. And even that the opposite was also the case for the non payment.

I also demonstrated the fact that such claims can be made without risk is also evidence of the truth of the claim.

HOW the fuck can you say I gave no proof? You appear to refuse to see the truth, or have a complete lack of understanding of what evidence is.

AFAIK Softbank is in the black these past years where many have lost money on the stock market. So IDK if they are decidedly terrible.
Some high risk investments have high potential, and often if you hit the jackpot 1 out of 10 times on those, you’re good.

As owner of Arm, they have a clear interest in Intel being a competitor to TSMC.
I bet this investment isn’t that big for Softbank, and their calculation is that the potential gains outweigh the possible loss.

For instance like if Intel has a 30% chance of survival, but on the other hand if they do, the sock price will increase more than 4 times. Then the potential gains outweigh the risk.

If this can help Intel on the fab side, that is clearly a bonus for Softbank.

That’s an extreme accusation

Yes, and I can make it without fear of him suing me, because it’s true.

It was pretty obvious if you have more than 2 brain cells and the ability of critical thinking.
But Gamers Nexus actually gave examples of obvious “conflicts of interests”:
https://youtu.be/FGW3TPytTjc?t=1575

This is actually from way after I stopped viewing LTT trash, but I can’t just go back multiple years and dig up the evidence.
But if you really are curious, you would have to track his “sponsors” and compare them to his “reviews”. And the evidence will quickly be pretty clear.

For instance it was very obvious that after AMD became a major sponsor around 2018, Radeon suddenly got way better reviews.
Raja had tried to suck up to him, and give him special treatment and privileges of first access with the Vega release, which didn’t work the slightest. But when they became a sponsor THAT WORKED!

And when Intel stopped their sponsoring of him, he suddenly made several features complaining about how bad Intel was. This was at least true, it’s just funny how the criticism didn’t come out until they stopped paying him.
Intel stopped supporting YouTube reviewers in general, but other channels did not suddenly switch how they reviewed Intel.

LTT is corrupt as hell, to the point he may use his popularity for extortion. He probably doesn’t think so himself, because he seemingly doesn’t have the intelligence to see that what he is doing is wrong, unless it is pointed out to him very clearly.

But if you don’t have eyes to see what’s going on, I really can’t help you.

Linus has to keep sponsors happy

Meaning that for Linus you are the product, and the advertisers are the real customers.
Again meaning the videos are not made for you, they are made for the advertisers.

He only changed practices to be more transparent because he was called out with clear evidence.
I bet he still breaks the rules if it fits his purpose, but since I haven’t watched his dishonest channels for years, I cannot really say. But once a fraudster always a fraudster, that’s my experience.

China is so far ahead on infrastructure they now have public transport for pets!

First it’s not investigative journalism, it’s hardware reviews that may or may not reveal problems, and he fakes and cheat with his, and takes money illegally under the table for making good reviews.
Difference between him and for instance Gamers Nexus, is that Gamers Nexus reveals if he detects something is off when he tests. While LTT prefer to get companies to pay for good reviews that gloss over the problems.

People are idiots if they believe your claim is true, and apparently most do?!
