Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger's Dream Job Takes a Nightmarish Turn

With the latest snafu of defective 13/14th gen intel CPU’s things are not looking good. So far Intel has not handled this well and likely looking at major class action lawsuits.

Is it a good sign when CEO of Intel starts praying in public on twitter after earnings call? Asking for a friend.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;PGelsinger&#x2F;status&#x2F;1820129317122080977" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;PGelsinger&#x2F;status&#x2F;1820129317122080977</a><p>&gt;@PGelsinger &gt;“Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways” Proverbs 4:25-26

Intel market cap: 91B<p>NVidia market cap: 2.64T<p>Antitrust issues aside, NVidia could acquire Intel for about 1&#x2F;30th of their stock. That would result in having an end-to-end platform play like AMD&#x2F;ATI, about 5x the number of employees, a tremendous number of technologies (compilers, numerical libraries, etc.), massive diversification, and actually rather better fab access in both directions.<p>Thoughts?

This is so not my home turf so this might be a really stupid question, but: I get that GPUs are all the rage now because LLMs etc., but do all those giant GPU clusters that are presumably built right now not ALSO need CPUs to run the boring non-llm stuff (like, you know, the OS for example), which should result in growing demand for Intel’s offerings…?
