He was clear from day one that it would take years for Intel to recover. It takes a long time for their products to make it to market, especiallyhlwhen they have to buipdnfab facilities. He was essentially fired for his predecessors lingering fuckups.
The biggest product that’s launched he actually had some control over was the second generation of Arc, which launced days after he was fired and has been a massive success.
Yeah, I didn’t mean to imply he did nothing at all.
He did a good job of pushing node shrinks, and did an awful lot of them awfully fast.
Though, my vibe is he was probably fired because he had the unfortunate issue of being an engineer and didn’t really have the ability to stay in proper CEO-speak and was talking and causing a LOT of damage to Intel with what he said, when, and to whom.
A good example is shitting on TSMC while being entirely reliant on them for client chips. The CEO thing would have been to just shut up and say how much you like working with them and how great the partnership is but uh, that’s not what he did.
Gelsinger didn’t do “nothing.”
