    Maybe just maybe Intel… You should consider sticking to the same socket for a longer period and generally increasing the long term value proposition. Especially considering the amount of stagnation that came from your company in the desktop space.

      My wife worked there some years ago, around when they started to fall behind AMD. Her team was a research unit looking into how to improve AI performance, and the entire business unit got laid off. Very smart move to trim any chance of pulling back ahead through R&D.

        and this was happening while they were buying back their own stock?

        Hmmm as if there was criminal misconduct at play here
