Months after Intel’s lobbyists won microchip companies billions of dollars of government subsidies, Intel is reportedly planning to lay off thousands of workers - right after giving shareholders a $6 billion dividend.

Just a couple of months after Intel’s multi-million dollar lobbying effort succeeded in winning microchip companies billions of dollars in no-strings-attached corporate subsidies, Intel is reportedly planning to lay off thousands of workers.

The potential layoffs come only weeks after the company announced a shareholder dividend at the same rate as the previous few quarters — amounting to a total of about $6 billion in annual dividends.

"Our proprietary #UEFI code appears to have been leaked by a third party. We do not believe this exposes any new security vulnerabilities as we do not rely on obfuscation of information as a security measure. This code is covered under our #bug bounty program within the Project Circuit Breaker campaign, and we encourage any researchers who may identify potential vulnerabilities to bring them our attention through this program. We are reaching out to both customers and the security research community to keep them informed of this situation." — Intel spokesperson.

So why is it not #OpenSource Intel?

"Seven years ago, when the Epyc comeback plan was formulated, AMD could not have dreamed in a million years that Intel's vaunted foundries would run into so many troubles with 10 nanometer and then 7 nanometer processes. The current situation has created as big of a gap for AMD to exploit as Intel's stubborn decision to put forth the Itanium architecture as the future of datacenter compute back in the late 1990s and early 2000s."

"In the quarter ended in June, revenues for AMD were up 70.1 percent to $6.55 billion. Due to higher costs for development of products like the 'Genoa' and 'Bergamo' Epyc 7004, the 'Genoa-X' and Turin tweaks to the Epyc 7004 designs with Zen 4 cores, the 'Turin' and 'Siena' CPUs with Zen 5 cores coming further down the road in 2024, as well as the still-un-codenamed Instinct MI300A hybrid CPU-GPU compute engine coming next year, net income took a pretty big hit."

AMD finally reaps the fortunes it has sown

Umsatzeinbruch bei #Intel: der Betriebsgewinn des Unternehmens lag im Vorjahr bei 5,7 Milliarden Dollar, nun wird ein Betriebsverlust von 700 Millionen Dollar verzeichnet. Grund ist, dass in der #Corona-Pandemie viele #Computer gekauft wurden, nun ist die Zahl der Verkäufe deutlich gesunken.
