Intel is doing all the things dying companies do.

I hope I’m wrong about this, but I don’t think I am.

Under previous non-technical CEOs Intel lost it's focus on innovation leadership and became a commodity supplier, losing ground to AMD and NVIDIA. Pat Gelsinger is different, he's an engineer, he led the 486 program, he is committed to regaining technical leadership and compete with TSMC as a foundry player. The Intel 4 node is now in mass production, Intel 3, 20A and 18A will follow in the next 2 years. New foundry capacity is being added in every factory, and new sites are being developed, 10's of billions of investment, None-core business units are being divested. 15th generation processors with be AI native, the plan is that in the same way as Centrino kick started WiFi, AI support on the desktop will be a game changer.

Are these things that dying companies do?

Spend money they don’t have in a last ditch attempt to hit the right buzz words and turn things around for real this time? Yes. That’s exactly what they do.

But then again, so do companies that have just hit a minor slump.

Let’s hope they manage to fix things. I don’t like TSMCs monopoly position right now.

Intel is not even close to dead. According to a scrutinous analysis of the sales numbers of Intel processors, they make 2 billion sales per-year, henceforth every 5 years they sell 10b processors. For comparison there are only 7-8 billion people on earth, so everyone has at least 1 Intel processor
