I agree with your points and I must say that my daughter has the new M1 MacBook Air and she uses it to do a lot including play Robloxs which on my 15" Intel MacBook Pro absolutely causes the fans to kick in almost straight away not to mention the massive dive in performance yet on hers there is hardly a flutter, the machine is just better than I could have thought for a fanless laptop.

Elon is a technical founder, yes. Rare.
(Technically he bought-in and didn't found Tesla, but anyway).
Does Elon have marketing skills? In a somewhat unorthodox way, sure.
As I said. Engineering + Marketing is rare.
Jobs did not say it in that way but he said that performance per watt was very important and it is right there in an Apple keynote event if you care to do some basic research. I will not give you the answer.
Except that Intel is failing because they are STILL more than a few years behind the curve.
Nope, it is the fact that Intel is far behind the curve and has noway to get in front. been that way since Broadwell farce!
I recall RIM and a few former colleagues moved to Waterloo to work there - I live in Toronto. I even got denied a job there a year before there purchase of QNX, still in their BES 5 and BBOS days.
BB10 showed some promise but they never engaged their biggest market users: industry, real-estate, corporate markets, etc. Their worst and most lazy push was offering a useless BES upgrade to BlackBerry Fusion I think it was called, meant to administer BB10 devices which even that they couldn't get right.
Lazaridis was part of the lazy culture cultivation. At the very least with all their layoffs in masses happening, many got decent severance pay, vacation pay unpaid, and references to get stable jobs at same or similar income levels. Rogers Communications did a HUGE hiring spree as they were taking over Nortel's campus (another company that was lazy).
I pray Apple NEVER gets like that,
PS: If you're ever near Eglinton Ave E and Don Mills you'll notice the old dinosaur Celestica is just about completely gone.
Why is it important for USA to still have chip manufacturing? like honestly why?
Nope! Apple has bought all of TMSC 3nm production and presumably will continue to buy up all the production of any other progress so that would leave Intel behind...again!
Considering Intel's problems predated Swan's brief tenure as Intel CEO, I'm not sure what Gelsinger is going to be able to do to turn things around drastically enough. Certainly the alarm bells at Intel need to be going off with AMD taking the lead in x86 and other companies de-emphasizing x86-64 in favor of custom ARM64 designs.
What companies other than Apple are deemphasizing x86-64 that can actually provide support for x86-64. I love macs, but I'm not giving up my x86-64 desktop to run emulation. While rocket lake and alder lake aren't out yet, my bet is Intel will take back some of the lost ground. (anyway that's a big hypothetical)
Intel is a strong company, who will survive.
I didn't say he wrote writing a lot of codes or do programming for Apple, I said he understands coding.
Well Intel couldn’t do much worse but I’m not sure VM Ware is the answer. AMD and now Apple are eating them for lunch because Intel innovation can’t keep up
It is no surprise that Bob Swan and Tim Cook will be stepping down due to lack of visionary product strategy for the company.
Why are the customers still using an old generation of magic keyboard after the catastrophic failure of the butterfly keyboard mechanism?

It is not MY job to prove YOUR point. Note the emphasis...
Fine then prove that. It's pretty obvious you can't or you wouldn't have come back with a way to "clean up" your words.
So you think that magic keyboards has something to do with visionary product strategy?
Whereas the entire switch to a new architecture does not?
actually its very fortunate, the fact that new companies rise and others fall mean that the business is healthy and competition exists all in favour of the consumer. No need for 1 company to control the lives of everyone. More competition = better economy and production.
As an AMD and Apple fan, I totally agree
Only point was that it's interesting how the mighty can fall.
The CEO was the CFO? Well, that explains it all right there. Beancounters rarely can run companies anywhere except into the ground, history has shown that time and time again. They just don't have the right mindset to do it. Their mindset works well to cut costs and reduce expenses, but you don't want that guy deciding the course of your business, or you'll end up spending little into obsolescence.
Intel has been outsourcing some products to TSMC for a long time (for example, their FPGMs). The only difference now is that Intel is outsourcing some of their cheaper (i3) Core processors. That's not to say that Intel is not having problems with their manufacturing process. Still, keep the things in the proper perspective.
The new CEO started working for Intel at the age of 18 and worked there for 30 years. He was the first Intel CTO.
