Did they? I thought they made a heavy bet that hasn’t paid off (and maybe never will).


So if Intel drops $0.8B on a risktaker learning from what I. B. M. did to make Watson and not make those mistakes. What new thing could come from that? A new category product is what Intel should look for around the corner(s).


You're right for the 10nm (7nm) process development. They focused on shrinking the wrong parts and ended up with an inferior product. Instead of changing direction, they doubled down.


Was this a case of a leader refusing to be wrong, or engineers thinking "we almost have this, give us another shot."


I have no idea, but isn’t it the usual real-world case of “it’s complicated, and it’s both”?
