I love that Pat Gelsinger’s plan for turning Intel around is to make things. He’s not turning to financial mumbo-jumbo, Web3, crypto, advertising, sprinkling AI magic dust and the other nonsense that Silicon Valley and Wall Street dudebros do when they want to grift the last nickel from a dying business.
Gelsinger’s idea is let’s make things! like Americans used to do!
I interviewed Gelsinger a couple of times when he was at VMware, and followed VMware closely during his tenure. He impressed me.
