C’mon bro just one more stock buyback bro just one more stimulus I’m good for it.
Let me guess that imbecicles in charge didn’t care to spend money on it?
They seem more concerned with their bonuses and stock buybacks. In August Intel announced that they’d be laying off 15k workers to “save” $10 billion US. They’re also cutting back on R&D for the same reason. I guess the MBAs decided that losing customers by hamstringing Linux users is an acceptable loss. Not like folks won’t forget about this six months from now, anyway…
Must be nice to know that no matter how bad you shit your bed… Daddy Sam will take money out of peasants pockets to make you right…
Makes you wonder why so many people want to be rich and powerful, doesn’t it?
Two things are happening: intel is trying to figure out how to deal with likely existential problems and their extremely mature product base doesn’t need those maintainers enough to offset supplying early retirement/buyout.
I got a intel cpu will i be fine
What generation and model?
If you haven’t seen any crashes then you are fine. Just update the bios and microcode if you are on high end 13 and 14 generation.
12 gen and an i3
Not affected
Good
Rip xeon servers (they will probably be fine but still)
Another news, water is wet. People leave and join companies every day.
The amount of Intel products impacted is limited to specific models. Also Intel is now committed to replacing damaged hardware. If you update the microcode it will fix the issue and if you aren’t experiencing crashes you are good.
