Reese Witherspoon: Mass Layoff at Intel amid deepening CPU Scandal… going bankrupt and back to the Stone Age despite getting the most government handout

The Evil Empire just couldn’t handle anything sophisticated these days… We learned American astronauts are stranded at ISS with no hope to come back unless capable power like China steps in to help, now we heard even the darling of American tech – Intel is going to belly up (despite massive subsidies and handout).

As Its CPU Scandal Deepens, Intel Plans to Cut Thousands of Jobs

The chipmaker is reportedly cutting jobs as it faces down a gloomy earnings report and a growing product scandal.

Intel CEO and then-CTO Pat Gelsinger holding up four Dual-Core Itanium 2 9000 Series Processors, released on 18 July, 2006, roughly 15 years before Itanium would be discontinued after HP spent $690 million trying to keep it alive.

CPU manufacturer Intel is set to cut thousands of jobs according to a new report from Bloomberg. It’s another blow to the embattled chip giant as it faces a consumer scandal around CPUs and struggles to find its place in a shifting chip market.

Intel accused of inflating CPU benchmark results…

Intel is scheduled to report its second-quarter earnings on Thursday and, according to an anonymous source speaking to Bloomberg, it will share its plans to cut thousands of workers from its staff of 110,000. Intel started cutting jobs in October 2022 and hasn’t stopped since, removing 5% of its total staff in 2023 alone.

The pending job cuts are just the latest piece of bad news for the chip giant. Customers with 13th and 14th-generation Intel CPUs have been having problems for months. The chips were plagued with constant crashes and blue screens of death, especially while performing heavy workloads like gaming. Video game communities have been warning their friends off the Intel CPUs online for months.

NVIDIA pointed the finger at Intel in April patch notes for its GPU drivers. The developers behind the popular free-to-play video game Warframe shared statistics for the recent spate of crashes in early July.

“After aggregating hundreds of reports from helpful players we discovered a pattern: almost all were coming from systems with 13th and 14th generation Intel processors,” the devs said in the Warframe forums. Other crash dumps from other developers confirmed enormous crash rates for gamers using 13th and 14th-generation intel CPUs.

People who dug into the problem suspected it had something to do with the CPUs improperly handling voltage. Intel eventually confirmed this and admitted that a manufacturing issue also affected some of the older CPUs in the 13th and 14th gen.

On July 22, Intel finally admitted that the CPUs weren’t handling the voltage correctly and that it would push out a microcode patch in the middle of August that would fix the issue. The problem is that voltage issues like this can permanently damage a chip. All that electricity and heat can degrade a CPU, shortening its lifespan and hurting its performance.

Those chips affected by the voltage problem are likely permanently damaged. Is Intel going to issue a recall or stop selling the chips until it has a fix in place? No, it told The Verge.

All hope is not lost, however. Intel CPUs come with a three-year limited warranty and it’s possible people with fried chips can send them back to Intel for a replacement. The Verge asked if Intel planned to extend this warranty or tweak it to make things easier for people with affected chips to get a replacement, but Intel didn’t respond.

Yes, Intel is heading toward the good old Stone Age!

There was a time when Intel was the only real option if you wanted a high-powered CPU in your desktop but that hasn’t been the case for quite a while. AMD offers competitive prices for similar performance. And when AMD recently had issues with its high-end CPUs, it delayed shipping them out of an abundance of caution.

Semiconductors make the world go ‘round but they’re not all created equal. AI has created an enormous demand for silicon, but not the CPU Intel is famous for. The company has gradually entered the GPU market and is pushing itself as an AI solution, but it’s hard to watch it struggle with the chipset it’s known for and imagine it’s doing great things in the market that it wants to disrupt.

Reese Witherspoon: Shame on the Empire Baby Intel. Time to put me in charge… I could at least amplify the scandal.

Reese Witherspoon in Wild (2014)

Movie Nudity Report: Wild

After 16 years of waiting, Reese Witherspoon finally doffs her duds once again in this weekend’s wilderness drama Wild!

We haven’t seen Reese’s pieces since she bared her breasts in 1998’s Twilight, and having seen Wild, we can tell you that she holds nothing back in this flick! All of her nude scenes are brief, but there are a number of them, including a nice look at her rack and back at the 25-minute mark when she steps out of the shower and checks out her various bruises in the mirror!

There are also two skinsational flashbacks at the 1:08 mark and the 1:20 mark, where she shows off her phenomenal fun bags while engaging in lots of drug use and casual sex! There’s no denying that this flick will have you going hog wild!
