The boards were great if you wanted an energy sucking space heater. They were never designed to be low power so when the market went that way they had no way to adapt. ARM was designed to be low power from the start. So Intel basically has to start over from scratch to achieve the same results as ARM, and that takes a long time. And that's how Intel died. Slowly......<br /><br />So....I kinda think Intel has better things to do than sit on advisory boards.she said:https://www.blogger.com/profile/15003430767746896739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049802.post-57489603538305186642017-08-16T14:54:19.097-07:002017-08-16T14:54:19.097-07:00By the time Intel gets done building Fab 42, the p...By the time Intel gets done building Fab 42, the process technology will have moved ahead so far that Intel will get another process out of it ...<br /><br />They'll get a massive tax loss that they can claim against their US revenue.<br /><br />That's how Intel will be able to afford Fab 42.<br /><br />GO TEAM INTEL. :-)<br /><br />Otherwise, didn't Intel start out when a bunch of engineers from Fairchild decided they wanted to build a "more intelligent" semiconductor company? It's really strange then that there are echoes of Fairchild, National Semiconductor, and Texas Instruments in their 1980s forms in how Intel is operating today.<br /><br />Intel's been backing out of platforms a lot this decade -- desktop motherboards (2013), SoCs and Atom processors for mobiles (2016), the "maker movement" and the Arduino 101 board (2017). They stopped making ASICs a long time ago (2003). 8051-compatibles keep getting faster not because of Intel but in spite of them. Intel Capital apparently set a new record for exiting companies in the cyber-security field. There's apparently just no end to what Intel can end. :-)<br /><br />So yeah, Intel exits Trump's manufacturing council ... GO TEAM INTEL.<br /><br />Otherwise, I'm sure all of the grocery stores near ARM were out of beer for a day or two because ARM bought it all for the kegger they had to celebrate another GO TEAM INTEL exit. :-)<br /><br />"Seeeeee how they run ..." :-)Capital of Texas Refugeenoreply@blogger.com
