That's what you get for putting MBAs as CEO, Intel. Those bean-counting MBAs are not interested in innovations, only money.

Blame it on the bloke who's left, I've done that many a time.

This reminds me of the classic Ulysses 31 series episode where Sisyphus had the chance to escape with Ulysses but chose to betray him instead and ended up stuck for eternity - and the Gods of Olympus said "too late Sisyphus, too late"

If MS had not invested $150M in basically bankrupt Apple, someone would be making a video like that about him.
But MS did just that, so Jobs gets to be a genius. And then drinks pineapple juice and puts lemon on his eyes to fight cancer.

Intel will be the first on 3nm euv ? Bold claims after the 10nm delays for almost half a decade .... Will see though , he is not wrong thought such companies need an engineer in the wheel!

Who is he gonna blame if he fails with Alder Lake? Guy seems whiny and his trash talk is doing no good.

So far, I like Gelsinger. A little too ambitious, but that's not necessarily a bad thing since his ambitions are much more vague (compared to the ambitions of someone like Elon Musk).
That being said, even if Intel can do better than Apple (I highly doubt that; Intel can only do better on paper, but not in reality), there's no chance Apple will come back to them. Apple would have had a much easier time switching to AMD (remember, AMD will do contracts for custom chips, where a lot of Apple's instruction sets could have been implemented) when AMD was the better overall choice for at least 3 years, yet, that didn't happen either.
Also, I'd say Gelsinger was right to criticize his predecessors, as Intel very obviously prioritized shareholders over technology.

He's not going to get Apple back--he's trying to plant the seed of possibly another CPU transition for Apple--the king of CPU transitions...;) Anyone considering an Apple Mac purchase should certainly think about that--I know I would. But Apple will stick with its own custom ARM CPUs for awhile, I think. Intel is grossly unreliable--if not for Ryzen it's doubtful Intel would have anything new to show at all and Gelsinger would be elsewhere. I agree with Gelsinger about that.
