News Intel 1q25 earnings results

I dunno why people take so much pleasure in Intel's rapid decline. They are a rarity. An American company that can make its own chips. This should be protected at all costs imo.

The US relies way too much on TSMC and that ain't a good thing. It wasn't that long ago Intel had dominance in mobile, desktop, workstation, and server CPU's. Now they have none of that and honestly are looking more and more vulnerable to a takeover and that would be sad. Certainly not something to celebrate.

Stock buybacks.

Raptor Lakes are made in Intel's depreciated DUV fabs so they are dirt cheap. It's Intel's only way to convince OEMs to push their stuff, by bribing giving profit to those OEMs. The "unexpected demand" part is just corporate bullshit.

Intel 7 is not cheap. Intel has said that their EUV nodes (sans 18A) are actually cheaper to manufacture than Intel 7.

That being said, I can understand why RPL is in hot demand. They're cheaper and still go toe to toe with AMD and Intel newer processors.

Only for some months though 🤪

A variation of privatizing profits and socializing losses. The Western dream writ large. In the end, wave the flag and appeal to patriotism. Works quite well and is also quite depressing.

They want help from the public? Let them make amends for everything they've done to destroy silicon manufacturing in the United States.

Yes, we could go on. Doing their best to destroy AMD.
