The Shake-Up at Intel

In This Article:

In this podcast, Motley Fool analyst Tim Beyers and host Dylan Lewis discuss:

  • Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger's stepping down and why "GPU" was the key focus of his time at the helm of the company.

  • The multiyear planning cycle that goes into chipmaking, and why we may wind up praising Gelsinger's investment in the foundry business several years from now.

  • How Fastly will have one fewer name to compete with in the content delivery network market, but why it might spell trouble for the business long-term.

Then Motley Fool host Ricky Mulvey talks with Dave Hatter, a cybersecurity consultant at Intrust IT, about the "surveillance capitalism model" and where your digital data winds up.

Dylan Lewis: The mess at Intel gets messier. Motley Fool Money starts now. I'm Dylan Lewis, and I'm joined over the airwaves by Motley Fool Analyst Tim Beyers. Tim, thanks for joining me. First day back from the Thanksgiving holiday.

Tim Beyers: Good to be back. Non-caffeinated today. It's a hot chocolate day, but it's the season. Why not?

Dylan Lewis: I would say sugar has its own punch to it. You have some hot cocoa over there. You're getting yourself ready for the holidays. We are back to work today from the holiday break. Over at Intel, CEO Patrick Gelsinger getting ready to step aside, and the chief executive announced that he will be stepping down, ending what I think was probably a pretty disappointing run for a lot of Intel shareholders. A lot of people who, Tim, were looking for this tech giant to really rebound and become a major player in the chip game again.
