Losing 16 billion dollars totally has nothing to do with this at all. Its time for Pat to pursue some creative hobbies at home, enjoy his retirement, and be with his family. There are no American troops in Baghdad, everything is fine, Intel is fine, and will soon be back to doing great things. Just ask Userbenchmark, Intel products are the best in class and highly sought after. nVidia has no real advantage in the AI race, and Intel is just dominating.

That 16 billion is just a brief hiccup, company is totally about to do great.

Maybe now they can forget all the expensive chipmaking and get back to their core business of stock buybacks.

[–] Diplomjodler3 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's probably the real reason. He was going to invest all that money instead of doing more stock buybacks. What an idiot!

With the CHIPS Act funding they can't do stock buybacks.

[–] ikidd 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It just frees up other money for buybacks that they would have had to waste on R&D.

the fact that you have to explain to people that money is fungible...

Well, at least one stupid fucker disagrees with that idea...
