Why limit it to Intel? :)

Let me add another bit to the rant. I am sick as shit of sites, youtube idiots, and the rest puking back obvious BS without the bare minimum of checking. 3 sites said it so it has to be true! You are being used by people with ulterior motives, don't be a tool. No hope for society....

With the changes today, I am now FIRMLY back in the "Intel will die" camp. The company is avoiding the problem source and addressing the symptoms. Badly. In a way that will worsen the problem. I plan on writing this up as soon as I get free time, tomorrow is shot though. More soon.

Those things you cite had a different purpose, basically to distract Wall Street from viewing Intel as not a player in 'hot' markets. Nothing more nothing less. I can name a dozen others too.

Size wasn't the issue, culture was. Pat fixed that mostly, but will those changes stick?

Well... AVX512 was known as AVX3 at some point... (and AVX512F was AVX3.1 for KNL guess) .. SKX was supposed to be AVX3.2 (F, CD, BW, DQ, and VL)
