    If disagreement about strategy was the cause for Intel’s decline you’d have to ask yourself just how effective the board of the company is/was.

    From where I’m looking strategy doesn’t account for the ongoing engineering issues with fundamental bugs in their chips, or the never ending parade of “more of the same”.

    Right now there’s an Intel CPU available at every single price point between expensive and absurd and very little to distinguish between them other than price.

    An “Intel Inside” sticker used to be advertising, now it’s a warning label.

      There’s also very little evidence that whatever Tan’s strategy may have been was any better. Just evidence that they clashed about strategy. It doesn’t mean his would have done any better at all.

      His own strategy could have turned out the same or worse just as much as it could have turned out better, since we have no knowledge of what his actual strategy was.
