| Intel has been pretty bad with bringing new products to market and sticking with them. Intel Optane, Itanium, Xeon Phi, Cell-phone Atom (yes, this was a thing), Intel Edison, etc. etc. Intel pretty much makes good Ethernet adapters, Wifi adapters, and CPUs these days. Everything else they've tried seems to die off a few years later. ---------- Its like seeing "Google" try to make a new free webservice. We all know Google has the expertise to make it work, but for some reason, it doesn't. Similarly, Intel has a wide variety of experts in a number of fields related to chip-making, along with historically successful products and a few chips that are highly important in the field. But something is clearly "off" with Intel's current culture. --------- Intel has some GPU-engineers working for them. The question is if the organization as a whole can actually release a product (step 1), and then support it for more than 5 years. I think its a bit of the "curse of the successful company". No matter what product Intel makes, there's no way its going to make as much money as Intel's CPUs. So the business-minds / bean-counters kill the product. |
