Intel as a whole is unmaintained
How to destroy a company 101
Fuck Intel. AMD and ARM will run the table.
Why?
Competition is good. AMD and ARM aren’t necessarily competitors since they make there own chips. The historical Intel competitor was companies like TSMC Samsung and Gobalfounderies but they aren’t even in the same league these days.
I run all AMD but this is a sad trend for everyone. Intel has been very good to linux over the years and AMD has a lot of catching up to do to have the same kind of influence in linux.
that’s from 6 years ago
It’s possible the situation has changed to a degree where AMD overtook Intel in the intervening years, but I think we would’ve seen some headlines if that was the case. I couldn’t find any reliable sources either way.
As someone who has no allegiance to either company, I really want Intel to turn things around and be a strong competitor again so that we can all benefit from their resources in the open source space.
If like to see that chart adjust for revenue and market share. I imagine it’d be more even.
Intel is in really serious trouble. At the rate they are falling I wouldn’t be surprised if they go belly up in 5 years.
Losing Intel would be very bad for a lot of reasons and I sincerity hope they can pull though. I think part of the problem is short term thinking from the board instead of long term planning and spending.
wdym layoffs? intel people who maintain the drivers got fired? why can’t contributors just maintain it?
Who do you think the contributors are?
Companies pay people to work on Linux. That’s not to say that there aren’t any volunteer contributors but most of the work is paid.
