Ah, Intel situacija je baš žalosna, a evo, svakim danom samo dodatne potvrde da su uspjeli sjebati svaku pruženu priliku i šansu, uključujući i ulaganja u TSMC krajem 80-ih, pa su ih rađe ismijali kao malu nebitnu tajvansku firmu koja Intelu nije ni na periferiji događanja, a sad se svi ti bajni Intel stručLJaci bave jebenim voćem i besplatnom kavom.

Intel says it's bringing back free office coffee to boost morale after a rough year

Citiraj:

Intel is bringing back free beverages for its employees at worksites. As part of its cost-cutting efforts, the company had said in September it would slash the perks. A series of setbacks, including missed opportunities with AI, have left Intel struggling. Intel will once again offer free coffee and tea to its employees after slashing the perks as part of its cost-cutting efforts. The chip manufacturer said free in-office beverages would return to worksites in an internal message in a bid to improve morale. However, the complimentary fruits that employees had grown used to will not be restocked.

Intel remained a major player in the tech industry for decades, but several missteps have thrown it off course. Intel played a significant role in the personal computer boom of the 1990s, mainly focused on PCs. However, it did not capitalize on the growth of mobile chips in the 2000s, which allowed the iPhone and Apple to flourish. Former Intel CEO Paul Otellini regretted passing over a deal with Apple to design and manufacture chips for the iPhone. The two companies failed to reach an agreement because Intel believed the volume would not justify the cost.

Intel missed another opportunity when, in 2017 and 2018, it declined to buy a stake in OpenAI, which has emerged as a leader in the artificial intelligence race. OpenAI wanted Intel's investment so it could reduce its reliance on chips made by Nvidia, the new leader in chip manufacturing and a major Intel competitor, and create its own infrastructure. The deal fell through in part because former CEO Bob Swan didn't think generative AI models would make it to market anytime soon. Intel also did not concentrate on graphics processing units, which are needed to train AI. The company has also faced manufacturing delays, including in 2020, when it announced setbacks with its 7-nanometer chips. The delay allowed Intel's competitors, like Samsung and TSMC, to get ahead of the company. As its valuation declined, the company implemented cost-cutting strategies.
