Not directly involved, but repeating what I've heard from others here: Intel apparently got taken over by MBA-types who didn't understand what it takes to generate long-term engineering value (a bit like Boeing?). It also refused to pay competitive salaries even when it was rolling in cash, making it easy for competitors to poach its talent.

(Boeing brought McDonnell Douglas in 1997, but management-wise, MD's beancounting culture took over Boeing's engineering culture. A kind of reverse-merger. Several pundits lamented this in the wake of the 737-max scandal)
