Due to the fact that everyone is archiving stuff online and buying phones with high-end processors and RAM capacity the Computer market will fade down. High and CPUs are discontinued and no more producted. New Xeon CPUs with hardcoded backdoors and OS-locked(windows). Powerfull servers are built and form them you can have access to your stuff. People start using them because they are here. More information are controlled by "them". Big agencies make alleances and share their user's information. The users starts to defend them because they do so much for them.
>Privacy is no more a thing
Agencies who made alleances starts merging. It will be a big surprise when Micorsoft buys Apple. Intel is bought by Amazon and AMD by Alphabet and Google. Some times later Microsoft and Google merge together. Amazon will eventually fail and bought by Microsoft/Google. Every thing is controlled. Phones are everythings producted by now.
>>54122820
Would you like a position from AMD? They're plentiful and well paid by the state of this board.
>>54122273
Sincerely,
Jim 'You Bet Your Fucking Ass I'm A Wizard' Keller
Not surprising desu. Have you seen their shows lately? Bunch of mouthbreathers showing off smart jewelry and smart socks and a bunch of other dumb shit. They have no idea what to do now.
They'll live off their enterprise chip money while trying to convince people they are still relevant for other things
They cut jobs from the lowest tiers so it will be all the minorities that go.
Get rekt.
>>54122775
This is Intel, not AMD
what got fired were white males with actual qualifications
>>54122273
This is a good thing because it means the prices of their i7s will drop. Zenfags on suicide watch.
>>54122879
They're just restructuring based on the market.
They're literally still the market leaders in PC.
The market is shrinking, that's bad for both Intel and AMD. If you don't understand that you're literally retarded.
>>54122832

Form this time GNU/Linux is dead because Stallman and Torvalds are killed and the internal fight for SJW destroy what's left. Now internal memory is no more for single users. Seagate and WD merge with Samsung to make 1mtx1mt SSD hyper resistent. Now you had to cloud.
To connect you need to prove your ID but how? In all this time the so called "Social network" has collected so much information that Micorsoft/Google bought it. Because Zuckemberg bought Twitter, Tumblr is dead and so 4chan. Now the government has you to make an FB account to identify yourself. This big corporation can have influence on people decision an government.
>No more coding
>everything we need will be only setting some shitting preference
Because why leave this option to people? people doesn't need to code. machine can do it. Soon no one knows how that machine works soon they will adore computers like old idol or gods.
Fuck, time to dump Intel stocks?
I thought Intel was a big company and 36$ per stock seemed still undervalued to me, not anymore.
i work for intel and this very morning before anyone heard the news i got a call from google and an invitation to a job interview there.
you think they knew?
>tfw i might get fired
tfw intel will never give you any reason to upgrade beyond a Sandy Bridge
And why the fuck is Qualcomm so overrated?
It has been shit for quite a while, the new Snapdragon 820 is also a house fire.
>>54122273
>Intel killing themselves due to the stagnation of a monopoly
Funny.
So can anyone explain what the fuck is the point of IoT? It sounds like a meme to me. I read about some shit Google's working on that will let me see an ad on my phone every time I walk by a coke machine. Is this the power of IoT?
>>54123185
Don't they have a lot of patents for like LTE and shit? They are getting a cut on everything sold.
>>54123225
The point of IoT for Intel is putting an Intel chip into everything you can think of.
>>54123225
So fuckerberg can track your every movement. It's the "future", and not in a good way.
>>54122273
Mass suicides incoming as Intel realizes that people won't upgrade their "IoT" devices for 10 years because they are fucking appliances.
>>54123225
you end work, log in into your stove, set temperature to X degrees to heat your lunch so it's hot by the time you come back home

>>54123273
Yeah this all sounds stupid, and I get along well enough without it. Maybe useful to help older people live on their own, but otherwise I get the same vibe as from Internet appliances, and we all know how those turned out.
>>54123424
>>54123424
it sounds stupid but i'm sure someone will make a really creative way of using it and we'll feel retarded for not thinking of it sooner
and after that someone will break the shit out of that idea and people will have new subject to be pissed off at
>>54122273
Looks like the 300 million dollar diversity program is paying of.
>>54122273

this desu sempai. Market failure eventually starves even the prime benefactor once the ecosystem collapses..
With all the propriety firmware moving that direction, the "internet of things" is setting up to be the least secure thing we humans have ever constructed.
Should have bought an i7 extreme in 2014. There hasn't been anything better since that, and for the mainstream segment there won't be in many many years. Broadwell-E will have a 10 cores, but it's 1500$ and their 8 and 6 core models will have exactly the same price and performance as Haswell-E.
intel employee here. it's not the mobile market that will end intel. you wanna know why intel is finished?

have you seen the movie "office space"? it's pretty much that only taken to the extreme.
if i were the CEO i'd lay off 50% of the people here including the entire management team.
sad thing is, i will probably get fired soon.
>>54122903
This desu.
I have always wondered why Intel shares were so low in value.
>>54124365
>it's pretty much that only taken to the extreme.
Is there an employee obsessed with a red stapler? No? Are there rituals where you beat in an old printer? No? Then it's not Office Space taken to the extreme.
>>54124365
They hired a lot of retards now they're firing them.
>>54124365
sounds like every big company ever
>>54124365
It's like that at literally any large corporation of >10k employees. I know exactly what you feel and it makes me rage on a daily basis.

no because that never happened unless you enjoyed low settings at a low resolution.
>>54124365
When are you gonna find out?
ITT: people who no idea what's going on.
Intel isn't 'going bankrupt' they're killing useless manufacturing jobs which are now able to be handled by robots.
They'll still have and need more engineers, just no malaysians do to packaging and less/no staff in the fabs to make the wafers.

It's a meme basically saying "lets promote mass consumerism even more by making gimmick devices with planned obsolescence and making everything "smart" by shoving a microchip and proprietary firmware written by someone that works for peanuts and filtered water"

>Everything runs like ass because the architecture is incompatible and there's no support
I guess they're going to fix it, but not at all optimistic about the outcome.
>>54124365
>"team events" and "group events" and "department events" and all that crap no one even wants to go to but has to
>massage chairs, expensive "modern" furniture, shit load of food, etc.
But those are good for worker morale. If you don't enjoy working with the people you're with, then there's something wrong with the office culture itself - likely related to the resentment of people less skilled than you getting paid similarly for faulty work. The 'diversity' nonsense doesn't help.
>>54126951
Naw, they can squeeze a little more out of it. But yeah, not much left in that tank.
>>54125225

I'm sorry but, would you have a pot/pan of room temperature food just sitting out for hours every day, while you work?
That is a health hazard for one and two, you are going to attract all the damn ants/insects from the neighborhood into your home. Might even see a friendly coon too!
>>54122273
Considering that Im going to use my 3770k for at least 10 more years and till then someone must have made a good CPU to upgrade to, I couldn't give less of a sit.
>>54130277
only reason i had to get rid of my i7 920 3 years ago was the motherboard crapped out and the ram.
Was cheaper just to go the i5 4690 route
Considering its one of the fastest quads ever made i doubt ill need to upgrade for a while.
You fuckers didn't see the writing on the wall?
PC sales, their bread-and-butter, are continuing to decline. Their mobile/embedded initiatives saw little penetration into their respective markets. "Le Web 2.0 Cloud Buzzwords" means that companies are starting to shift away from setting up their own datacenters, and relying on centralized providers.
Their entry into the foundry business is only more evidence that Intel is desperate to find a profitable avenue to make use of their heavy investment into R&D. Personally, I don't see it panning out; few companies need to fab their IC's on 14nm FinFET, and Samsung/GloFo/TSMC are already well-established in this space. I can't see Intel's high-cost process winning out.
>People kept saying AMD will die
>Later on AMD goes to make Zen
>Intel dies
Hahaha, jesus, this is glorious. I hope maybe now this can be the age of AMD.
>>54124365
Sounds like a good place to continue my NEET lifestyle, i want to "work" for Intel, how do i get in?
>>54130444
Getting into companies like these is the hard part, but once you're in, it's a breeze. Not the guy who posted that post, but I know a couple of guys who got into companies like these. Basically have a good CV for the job interview, once you're in pretend that you're actually working on things and you should have your job secured for years. It also helps a ton of you have connections. Some people get into companies like these when they know absolutely nothing about the work they're doing, but as long as you pretend to do shit you're fine.
>>54122273
Quite the coincidence this happens a year after Intel teamed up with Anita Sarkeesian to help promote "diversity" in the company.
>>54123180
what do you do at intel?
>>54130459
Can i just make up a good CV?
>>54123180
Are you going to take the interview? You never know what might happen.
>>54126951
They still have like one or two die shrinks left
After that, well ... either they find a new material they can use or they stagnate and AMD can catch up
It's a win either way
>>54130400
>wanting either to die
You stupid fuck
>>54130939
I don't. I just like the fact that AMD is going to be the only desktop platform now, while intel focuses on mobile processors, door processors etc. (which surprisingly, was actually the market they performed worst at. I don't know why do they want to go back into that market when their biggest profit is from making server CPu and desktop CPUs).
>>54131001
Well Intel focusing on mobile cpus doesn't mean they'll pull ou of the server/desktop market. AMD's marketshare in the server business in particular is almost non-existent
>>54131028
That's true, unfortunately. The opteron was garbage when it came out and it still is garbage today. Worst of all is AMD keeps rehashing and reusing stuff, because they don't like to change sockets, architecture, designs etc. every year like intel does. AMD is perfect for the desktop, the fact that I can finally upgrade my processor without shilling out $200 for a motherboard with the new socket like a good goyim is good.
>>54131090
AMD will release a new socket for zen though, won't they ?
But yeah, Intel sure could use more competition on every market
>>54130354
>PC sales, their bread-and-butter, are continuing to decline. Their mobile/embedded initiatives saw little penetration into their respective markets. "Le Web 2.0 Cloud Buzzwords" means that companies are starting to shift away from setting up their own datacenters, and relying on centralized providers.
wew lad, Intel is finish
Intel runs the not-shit computing world. ARM hit their limit, and the new processors they shit out are either going to be power-gobbling, inefficient pieces of shit or 50 core pieces of shit that run single threaded applications like an amputee. There's a reason why Microsoft's Surface line stopped going with ARM chips.
>>54131132
>AMD will release a new socket for zen though, won't they ?
Yeah, after like what, 5 or 6 years? Eventually AMD has to move forward of course, they can't keep using AM3+ forever and DDR3 forever. Intel literally has zero competition at the moment, AMD is a literal nonfactor in the market. Both AMD and Intel handle completely different sides of the market right now, and their market share is better in the gpu market than it is in the cpu market.
>>54131132
Isn't it still a new socket like every 3-4 years on the AMD side? Intel is just "kek, just change it once a year, goyim will keep on paying". With AMD you get Zen this year, then keep mobo for a CPU upgrade like 4-5 years down the road.
>>54131187
>>54131206
I mean it makes sense not to change sockets all the time, but if you remember socket 775 it was a pain in the ass to figure out what mobo is compatible with what CPU, and if you need update the BIOS first and shit
>>54124365
>>they literally hired will.i.am as a "visionary"
Can't make this shit up fampai.
>>54131303
Didn't they do something with that Kelso guy too?
>>54131236
Yep. By not making a new socket every year like memetel, AMD can actually improve on their current software for the next 5 years before feeling the need to change sockets again. It's also better in the long run, when for example in 2020 amd releases a new processor, and all you need to buy is the processor instead of processor+motherboard. I like AMD way more even though they don't top the performance benchmarks as much as intel does, but AMD is then nicer company to work with in the long run.
This was clearly going to be an issue since 2010. How is this news?

You know what, it just makes me laugh my ass off seeing how everyone thought AMD was dying, but in the end the complete opposite of what everyone on /g/ said happened.
>>54131562
Slow and steady, AMD never massively expanded so they can't massively implode. Intel has gotten too big for its britches and embraced too many failed modern philosophies to remain unscathed.
I've always been in AMD's corner, only because it's just a matter of time before AMD comes out on top again and those who are in on the ground floor have the most to gain and the least to lose.
>>54131501
I already have back in February
>>54131577
Yeah, pretty much. AMD is never going to die, it's the most stable company in the tech industry right now from the bunch like microsoft, intel etc. Sure, their profits or market shares aren't exactly mind blowing, but as long as they can hold onto this state of inertia that they're in right now, they neither lose nor gain anything, they just effectively stay alive forever. AMD understands this perfectly and doesn't like taking constant big risks like intel does.
>>54131653
Microsoft is pretty fucking stable
>Smartphone boom ended
>Time to cut PC & focus on Phones, that worked for Microsoft right?
>>54131676
Didn't they fire like a thousand employees not that long ago?
>>54131676
Microsoft is in full blown free fall dude, everything that isn't Windows and PC related has been less successful than predicted.
>>54131716
Well that's less than 1% of their staff
>>54131738
But Windows and PC is the reason they're stable. As long as people use Windows for home or enterprise use (and it seems like they will), Microsoft will be relevant.
If they survived the Ballmer years, they can survive anything
>>54122803
>in 10 years your fucking stove can be infected with cryptolockers that will threaten to burn down your house
if you don't vote for right candidate.
>>54122438
Oy-vey, how dare you call our jewish brothers white, you cis scum?
>>54131767
They're not stable, they invested a lot into the Xbone and Windows Phone market.
I mean, it's Microsoft, and it can take losses for a few straight decades in all likelihood, but they are not stable at the moment.
>>54131716
They went from a bit under 120,000 employees to a bit under 119,000 employees. And, that's the actual full-time salaried positions. So much of their work is outsourced that those numbers almost don't have meaning.
Microsoft could shift 10,000 full time salaried positions to outsourced contracts tomorrow morning and it will make no difference. Except to the people who get fired, of course.
>>54131676
Microsoft is huge and running on momentum. Not the same thing as "stable." If they're smart, they can ride that momentum into another period of stability.
The entire deprecation of Win7 and Win8/8.1 into the clusterfuck that is Win10 is not "stability." Virtually every business in the world is completely pissed off at microsoft because for over three years now this has been soaking the entire corporate & business community for trillions of dollars in costs. New hardware, new software, new training, etc. In addition to taking massive losses in lost productivity.
Microsoft is actually very vulnerable right now because they've engaged in both retarded and arrogant behavior while putting out meme-level products. There's been very little usefulness added to any of their product line since Win7 and Office 2007 ... a lot of marketing, a lot of captive customer base, a lot of song and dance, but very, very little to show for multi-trillion dollar shifts of money across the globe.
Probably more than 95% of all businesses and individual users would gladly move to "something else" if they felt they could. And, a solid trickle of percentages are migrating to linux and Mac. Most of those who migrate will remain migrated and never be available to microsoft again.
Watch more closely what microsoft says and does and the translation is: dumptruck-loads of pants-shitting going on. Ramming Win10 out the door was a desperation move, and the "free upgrade" to secure a captive customer base speaks for itself.
>>54131090
>>54131132
>>54131187
a socket change a year keeps the goyim in fear
>>54132130
At least you get new features when you get a new socket. More pcie lanes, m.2x4, xpoint support, etc.
>>54132174
That doesn't warrant changing the socket every year. Every 2 or 3 years is fine.
>>54132203
No one is forcing you to buy a new setup every 2-3 years.(which is how long Intel keeps their sockets). Now you could keep your 6 year old mobo, hope it doesn't spontaneously combust, and have the same old connectivity options as you did when you originally bought it years ago. Talk about no reason to upgrade. Buy a 30% better processor, but have it crippled with a depreciated mobo.
>>54122273
Wow, it's nothing. They still make billions in profit a year. Pretty sure we have all worked for an organization where 10% of the employees were worthless, and if fired, would have no loss in productivity for the company whatsoever. Trim the fat, and become a leaner, more responsive company.

>>54122343

>>54132378
You're forgetting that broadwell exists.
Intel is merely feeling the effects of the failing pc market. You know who else is? Seagate. And many other companies, everyone's stock is down. This was pretty much bound to happen though, and it's not like these are catastrophic circumstances. These are multi-million and multi-billion dollar companies, they may have gambled a little too much on the pc market but they won't make the mistake again.
I think it's interesting that Intel hasnt been able to put out some really amazing shit considering all the money they dump into research and development.
>>54132398
Broadwell isn't a replacement for Haswell, it's an upgrade to the enthusiast desktop platform
>>54122662
Funny how computers started out as dumb terminals, moved to localized processors with own file systems, and now they're becoming dumb terminals again. Looks like the past was the future.
>>54132402
All intel virtually does each year is release a processor that's 5% or maybe 10% if you're really lucky (which usually get priced at a premium price of $600 or more). AMD created the AMD4 instruction set, made APUs which put intel's integrated iris pro into the dumpster, and they introduced high bandwidth memory into the technology market, which is the best memory standard as of yet, bringing high end processors like AMD Zen to the consumer market at an affordable price; the list of achievements just goes on. Intel doesn't care about the desktop, they stopped caring years ago, their main source of profit is the server market, where nothing beats their Xeon processors.

INTEL CONFIRMED FOR FINISHED AND BANKRUPT
>>54123137
stocks in integrated circuit companies are dumb because normies don't even understand what they do
>>54122273
Is this because Intel realized they hit the physical limit for transistor size?
>>54132453
They don't care about the desktop market for good reason. Nobody has reason to buy a new CPU every year or two. Nobody wants a huge box when a tablet or laptop is sufficient.
And you are full of shit claiming Zen is affordable. You have no fucking clue what the msrp will be

I can only hope these layoffs are an attempt to minimize the damage to the company from sjw antics. Intel: "well I'm sorry, we didn't meet investors expectations. We are going to have to let some people go. You people that were hired in the last two years, you have to go."
