C’mon bro just one more stock buyback bro just one more stimulus I’m good for it.
Who needs employees when you have stocks?
People join companies, but leave managers.
Oh, man, just fuck you, it’s 6am here and you throw they kind of truth before I’ve even started coffee.
Let me guess that imbecicles in charge didn’t care to spend money on it?
They seem more concerned with their bonuses and stock buybacks. In August Intel announced that they’d be laying off 15k workers to “save” $10 billion US. They’re also cutting back on R&D for the same reason. I guess the MBAs decided that losing customers by hamstringing Linux users is an acceptable loss. Not like folks won’t forget about this six months from now, anyway…
Must be nice to know that no matter how bad you shit your bed… Daddy Sam will take money out of peasants pockets to make you right…
Makes you wonder why so many people want to be rich and powerful, doesn’t it?
“Some” appears to be 3. How many are left?
Two things are happening: intel is trying to figure out how to deal with likely existential problems and their extremely mature product base doesn’t need those maintainers enough to offset supplying early retirement/buyout.
I got a intel cpu will i be fine
Possibly not, for a multitude of reasons…
Oh
There is only a small amount of devices impacted. As long as you aren’t using high end 13 or 14 gen hardware you are fine.
If 13th or 14th gen, only if you get lucky and update to the microcode hotfix. GL
i have i3 12100f which is 12gen
That’s not affected by the relatively serious issues plaguing more recent Intel CPUs so it’s probably fine. If it was the more recent generations, there are some major and probably physical defects causing problems for those.
Oh yh
I was actually on the fence between that one and the non f for a lower power server build. Something that would finally put my 7700k to rest.
I just upgraded to the 7700k 😂
From what I remember I have a 2nd gen i7, I don’t think that updates matter at this point. Lol
What generation and model?
If you haven’t seen any crashes then you are fine. Just update the bios and microcode if you are on high end 13 and 14 generation.
12 gen and an i3
Not affected
Good
Uh oh, I have an Intel ARC.
Prior to this news…how has it been?
Pretty good if you stick to linux. Better than NVidia since that’s what I had before.
Yeah, I’m having a lot of trouble with my Nvidia card right now in Garuda Arch. It’s a 1060, so about time to update anyway.
Good, not great.
Amd has better gfx performance, but they’re actually close in a lot of areas, if you don’t need graphics and want compute probably better.
Id say it doesn’t compete with Nvidia at all because if you’re thinking green your concerns are so different nothing will sell you.
But holy shit the av1 encode is like nothing else on the planet. Multiple streams at 12x and it just barely ticks over.
also have an arc and I found it better than even amd considering it had easy opencl support.
None of the departures seem related to ARC
Rip xeon servers (they will probably be fine but still)
Another news, water is wet. People leave and join companies every day.
The amount of Intel products impacted is limited to specific models. Also Intel is now committed to replacing damaged hardware. If you update the microcode it will fix the issue and if you aren’t experiencing crashes you are good.
