On the 21st Intel fell 2.38% to close at 52.19 US dollars, which is the lowest closing price since April 30th.
At the helm of the company, Intel’s original advantages gradually eroded, and the king’s aura faded. The company’s 10nm chip development hits a rock, which was originally scheduled for mass production at the end of 2016 and may now be postponed until 2019. In the past, Intel had new processes every two years. Miniaturization technology, now stretched to more than five years, has been left behind by opponents. AMD climbed Intel's weaknesses, and its share price has plunged 60% since April.
In addition to the shrinking manufacturing process, Intel’s artificial intelligence is not as advanced as Nvidia. Mobile chips are inferior to Qualcomm. They have been criticized. Previously, Intel’s processors were exposed with major security holes. Kecchi got information in advance and quietly sold shares and fled. Controversy. According to Rob Enderle, principal analyst of the Enderle Group, Kodak has made erroneous mistakes since he became an Intel CEO. Perhaps it is because of this that the market is not overly alarmed. Others say this is a good opportunity for Intel's generation handover.
However, the old store's new dispensers left the parties afflicted. Enderle criticized Ke and Qi for removing all his opponents that threatened his own position and made succession a difficult problem. Acting CEO Swan lacked a chip background and was generally considered unsuitable. The highly vocal insider was Venkata Renduchintala, who had just moved from Qualcomm to Intel three years ago and was considered to be Kodaccine. This did not help to boost staff morale.
Intel's usual practice is to pull insiders as CEOs. Nowadays, there are not many candidates. Many experts call on Intel to look for external candidates. Ryan Shrout, chief analyst of Shrout Research, said that the new leader should enable Intel to restore its former glory and regain hegemony in the process. , It is best to be an engineer who is well versed in the architecture of the chip.
