Intel CEO Brian Krzanich Resigns
- Thread starter AthlonXP1800
- Start date
Humped is the polite word for what Intel do to their customers lol
The customers can blame only themselves for their fanboyism and lack of understanding that the best pill is to buy AMD and AMD only

lol wtf, your accusing Intel users of doing EXACTLY what you yourself are doing /boggle
And what am I doing ?
It is quite obvious that Intel is in a monopoly situation and what I am trying to tell you is that AMD needs more sales which given their extremely strong lineup is exactly the most natural thing to expect.

A fanboy blaming fanboys for being fanboys while he himself is behaving exactly as a... fanboy!

It is illegal to support monopoly. Every institution will tell you this. Stop being stupid with this.
You really think that a sex scandal is to coin a phrase "something trivial". Yes when your rich and powerful you can get away with loads of things, but then some things once out in the open can ruin you easily.
I very much doubt that this a cover up and just a man being a **** who got found out.

Intel are having their own Ballmer / Microsoft moment.
They are in danger of becoming irrelevant if they they are not careful.
In the mobile space they are no where near ARM and Qualcomm.
In the GPU/ML space no where near AMD and Nvidia.
In the traditional x86 CPU space AMD is starting to gain market share.
They need a new CEO to make them relevant again.

Dude, it's not like he raped anybody or got involved with sex-trafficked prostitutes, all jokes aside it looks like he had a relationship with an employee, which upper management are forbidden from doing. Even if it was an affair it's a non-event. So yes this is "something trivial" and hardly a sex scandal.
So in an era where Intel have near zero relevance in the mobile space, near zero relevance in the GPU space, are facing significant competition in the consumer space, are getting trounced by every sane and logical metric in the HEDT space, are so fearful of renewed competition in the server/enterprise space they're quoted as needing to "stop AMD at all costs from gaining market share", every single product they've released for the past decade has more holes than swiss cheese and resort to childish stunts like 5GHz 28-core CPUs to try and steal a bit of thunder from their competition, you're honestly of the belief that the CEO was actually and genuinely fired for putting his penis somewhere it didn't belong?!?
I'm envious of your naivety.
Love that lol.I really wish though that all this "Fanboy" stuff would just stop from both sides of the fanboys. Intel and AMD have good stuff at the moment, just live with it and embrace it guys.
Not suggesting he did, anything illegal or immoral, but his wife of 20 years and mother of his two teenage daughter's, probably disagrees, as does the board of directors.
Intel has said they are investigating "a past consensual relationship with an Intel employee" so he broke Intel's non fraternization policy,
It may be naïve, but that is what the history books and Intel's lawyers will tell you, anything else is guesswork and pure fantasy/speculation.

Rumour has it Brian Krzanich and Jensen Huang were caught in the Intel stationary cupboard touching tips.
Hang on, you're now just arguing for the sake of it, because this is exactly what I just said. You now agree with me then that your use of "sex scandal" was a wee bit sensationalist and an exaggeration?
Also note that Intel are investigating a "past consensual relationship". Note PAST relationship. A relationship I bet you a fiver that his wife already knows about and is probably resolved in some fashion.
To be fair you all might be correct, but now having read a lot of the stories on various news sites, it would apear that this has been going on for some time. I have been reading about misuse of expense accounts and various other issues, but the bottom line is that officially he is going for breaking the fraternization policy that apply to all managers. Which is quite funny actually, seeing as his wife used to work for Intel when they met.
In which case he is a failure saved by AMD's lack of competition over the last 5 years, now that AMD are back his shortcomings now and during those last 5 years are laid bare.

Sounds close enough to the truth, hard to keep pressing onwards with invention when there is no necessity.
