Intel missed GPUs, missed ARM, missed ASICs, missed everything right under their nose for the last 15 years. This from Andy Grove's "Only the Paranoid Survive" company, a company that in it's own past pivoted from commoditized RAM production to become the one that won the CPU race, a company perfectly positioned to win the next big cycle as the dominant leader in the industry.

This is what happens when the MBAs and the bean counters take over. They cut the fat, then they slice right through the muscle and bone.

The issues with MBAs and bean counters are that they rarely have intuition about which is which, and only investing in areas a company is already successful in is rarely a winning long term strategy.

The issue with Intel is certainly not the MBAs, although they are numerous.

The issue is that engineering leadership failed to execute on the process technology roadmap.
