This is probably true and will be the death-nell of Intel.
GPU/FPU has been driving the success of the companies eating Intel's lunch. If Intel stops on this front, they're Texas Instruments all over again.
I'm hoping Intel keeps their GPU division as they basically get free driver development support from the community but yeah, there's a good chance this is getting axed
I'm guessing it's the Wifi business that's going to be sold. Also, the prefabs might be spun off. But Intel still needs a GPU division, if at the very least just for integrated GPUs, but we might see the end of dedicated Intel GPU's as they pivot to compete against AMD's APU's.
That's my take, at least.
There goes their division of fine aged meats
As much as I currently prefer AMD processors over Intel I would hate to see them go. Without serious competition AMD will just do the exact same thing Intel did before Ryzen dropped. The problem I see now is that if Intel gets into a situation as horrible as AMD was in there are not as many revolutionary concepts out there anymore that would get them out of that hole.
The Dithering podcast was talking about Intel in today's ep. They agreed that this shit needed to change both ten years ago and (further back) when modern smartphones became a thing. I worry that Intel can't right this ship.
I know you're reading this. Fix your management... by removing half of them and the management bloat they introduced to justify their existence... or perish.
Just looking around their site, it’s trash like this that needs to get the axe.
