Why are any of you believing what the Intel CEO says about their own products when there’s absolutely not a shred of anything to back it up. “Man who stands to make large amounts of money by lying lies” is not exactly an uncommon occurrence.
One reason to believe is because they aren’t allowed to lead on investors with false claims. It would be a big deal if the product severely fell short of what he’s saying now.
Except they’re not promising anything other than “it’s ahead”. What does that mean? Only the node size is smaller? Peak performance? Performance per watt? “It’s ahead” doesn’t mean anything of substance and gives him all the legal leeway in the world.
He’s not even promising that, he’s saying he “thinks” he is ahead. And he tells nothing about yields, having the greatest node is useless if you can’t deliver volume.
Gelsinger is alright. Definitely not a clueless PHB. He’s an engineer who designed Intel’s processors back in their heyday. He spent more than a decade rising up the ranks on the tech side before he got into management. This guy was a force in the microprocessor industry. They brought him back to right the ship and get back to and engineering culture after the PHB’s let the tech languish.
I don’t recall him really saying anything positive about the tech since he came back. I mean, they’re still selling what they have and making the most of it because that’s what they have to do. But it’s not like he’s been hyping anything. If he’s saying now that they have a good chip then I’m inclined to believe him.
The guy could be the king of England and I wouldn’t care. I don’t care what he has and has not hyped in the past. Believing a single word that comes out of a CEOs mouth about a product without any proof is just foolish.
Henhouse is fine, secure says local fox.
Gelsinger was clearly waiting until I sold my shares for a measly profit before revealing his memes were not memes -_-
but seriously now this is really good news we need as many options for stupidly advanced nodes as we can get, we got a taste of what happens when there’s only one great choice in the block during covid and I don’t wanna see that ever again

They are definitely in “I’ll believe it when I see it bro” territory, for sure
Their problem has always been with yield not the node size right? They could make the smaller nodes, just not cost effectively?
