Chris' gaming experiences go back to the mid-nineties when he conned his parents into buying an 'educational PC' that was conveniently overpowered to play Doom and Tie Fighter. He developed a love of extreme overclocking that destroyed his savings despite the cheaper hardware on offer via his job at a PC store.
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger is not one to speak purely in PR friendly terms. With his engineering background, he has a deep understanding of Intel's technologies, and isn't afraid to voice his opinion on a variety of subjects—including Intel itself. Gelsinger was asked byGelsinger mentioned three areas he considered to be failures.
Larrabee was a circa-2009 cancelled attempt at building a general purpose compute GPU and consumer graphics card family. It was something of a hybrid of the x86 architecture with the parallelism and graphical functionality of a GPU. Around 2010, GPUs were still used primarily for graphics applications and their use in high performance computing applications wasn't anywhere near as pervasive as it is now. The lucrative GPGPU market is dominated by Nvidia today.
Finally, he said Intel was"fundamentally biased to building a great foundry." This comment is open to interpretation, but we do know that Intel has always wanted to position itself as a leader in semiconductor manufacturing. Perhaps Gelsinger feels as though Intel put too much emphasis on this point at the expense of the products themselves, even as competitors adopted fabless business models.
Of course, Intel is forging ahead with its foundry plans, but this time around they will be open to customers, opening new streams of revenues.
