    Losing 16 billion dollars totally has nothing to do with this at all. Its time for Pat to pursue some creative hobbies at home, enjoy his retirement, and be with his family. There are no American troops in Baghdad, everything is fine, Intel is fine, and will soon be back to doing great things. Just ask Userbenchmark, Intel products are the best in class and highly sought after. nVidia has no real advantage in the AI race, and Intel is just dominating.

    That 16 billion is just a brief hiccup, company is totally about to do great.

      Maybe now they can forget all the expensive chipmaking and get back to their core business of stock buybacks.

        That’s probably the real reason. He was going to invest all that money instead of doing more stock buybacks. What an idiot!

        While we’re at it, let’s go back to 10nm chips too. That’s Intel’s bread and butter. Phones get bigger every year. Why not transistors too?
