: As a christmas gift one year, the staff recieved a box of plasters and a t-shirt, Intel have a very strange policy regarding promotion, when one is doing their current job and want to go to a higher position, they do their new job, but they still recieve their previous salary but only after a period of 1 year will Intel decide if their worth any more money for the new position. The nature of bullying can vary but normaly it's of a shouting and being yelled at kind. A typical scenario is being 2 minutes late, and the manager thinks he/she can shout at the person in front of the rest of the team. www.faceintel.com

Completely agree.  What are 'plasters'?  Also, Intel doesn't give Christmas gifts anyway, and has only "holiday" parties (remember lots of staff are of non-Christian religions).  Intel does have a confrontive culture (n.b. Constructive Confrontation classes), and I would not call it (historically, at least) family-friendly, but the faceintel.com drivel is just that. -- Gnetwerker 02:14, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Espionage 

message: This evaluation was done on this version of Intel at time 6:00 PM PST on April 1, 2006. The evaluation was done by the book.
Criteria:
;Well-written
:While grammar is not perfect, no spelling errors were observed. Wikilinks appear for the most part to be relevant. The article is nowhere near the level of "brilliant prose," but it is certainly at a level where the writing is clear and readable. There are a few spots ("Like so: 'Intel Core Duo Inside'," "(Note: Intel is usually given credit with Texas Instruments for the almost-simultaneous invention of the microprocessor.)"), but for the most part, the article is written at a good level. A rewrite should not be out of the question.
;Factually accurate
:The article is not blatantly incorrect, and appears solid in its facts. As always, more references will improve the article's standing in this criterion, but the current revision is at a passing level for Good Article Status. This is not an excuse — more references would be appreciated.
;Broad
:The article is focused mainly on the history and development of Intel, but also looks at Intel's presence in the world. Although it could certainly use expansion, and is by no means comprehensive, it is decently broad.
;Neutrally written
:The article has a fair share of weasel words, which is not uncommon for corporation articles. As well, some sentences appear slanted towards an anti-Intel stance ("an attractive target for litigation," "leading to the ability to access wireless internet from a laptop becoming linked in consumers minds to Intel chips"). The section "Diversity" does not read well in its neutrality — it appears to strongly display Intel as supporting diversity through an affirmative action-style initiative.
;Stable
:Comparing the last 15 edits, no rounding, differences observed center almost entirely around inserting references into the article, disambiguating links, and updating statistics. No major edits or changes to structure are evident. There were two reverts of vandalism in the last 15 edits.
;Well-referenced
:All references appear reputable. A good number of them are from corporate entities (Apple, Intel), but they do not appear damaging to the NPOV of the article.
;Images
:All images are tagged. Most are fair use. One, :Image:Intel-logo.svg, is marked for copyvio, although I don't see any such problem as the file is correctly tagged. If Featured Article status is pursued, that image's fair use rationale should be reexamined.
Summary:
* Well-written: Pass
* Factually accurate: Pass
* Broad: Pass
* Neutrally written: Fail
* Stable: Pass
* Well-referenced: Pass
* Images: Pass

thread_title:  Good Article Evaluation of Intel 

message: Does anyone have a source for the sentence "The only major competitor to Intel on the x86 processor market is Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), with which Intel has had full cross-licensing agreements since 1976: each partner can use the other's patented technological innovations without charge.". The only agreement I'm aware of is the one from 2001, which supercedes older agreements: http://contracts.corporate.findlaw.com/agreements/amd/intel.license.2001.01.01.html
There is some talk of royalties in the agreement, so it's hardly without charge. I have some recollection of an older ageement which only covers x86 extensions and is royalty-free, but I don't have a source so I'm wondering if anyone knows of the agreement I'm talking about. -85.157.199.19 13:20, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Why isn't there any mention of the models which apparently had problems computing answers with long decimal answers? These were in the early Pentium 1 timeframe, though I don't know the model designation details. 
No doubt the actual effect was overplayed in the exuberant web forums of the time, but I cannot recall any other computer models that had demonstrable serious basic math errors. 
If I recall the public perception correctly, it intersected with the (proven successful) Intel Inside campaign to humorous effect. ( "Skulls & CrossBones inside, How many Pentium Engineers does it take to change a lightbulb? 6.99167")

replies: text: I'm not changing it back, but with respect, I think your edit makes things worse rather than better.  Whatever one feels about Intel, it is both one of the most advanced designers of semiconductors, and one of the most advanced manufacturers of them, regularly advancing the state of the art in both fields.  To not say so is, in my opinion, POV by omission, and is like calling Starbucks "a coffee shop in Seattle" -- true but misleading.  On a more petty note, I made an effort to not start the second sentence with "Intel".  Having a para in which every sentence starts with the name of the subject is both pointless and bad style.

Then, another section (lets say 3) elsewhere treats of a related aspect of section 1, which makes it a bit difficult to follow and get the whole picture.
*Suggestions:
**Origin of the name be before, part of or just after the History section
**Sale of Intel's XScale processor business be integrated in the History section (But only if the deal is complete, that is).
**Partnership with Apple may just be mentioned briefly, since the move was more important for Apple than for Intel. Thus, a separate section is unnecessary.
**Diversity should be a subsection of Employee Policies
**Employee Policies is placed just after Leadership.
These are just some suggestions to improve the article in general.

thread_title:  Competition 

message: I feel that the article as it currently stands (1/26/2012) gives a distorted view of the early history of Intel's computer chips.  The emphasis on the lack of profitability of the early chips overlooks their importance to the computer industry.  The 4004 and 8008 were ground breaking chips, they pioneered a new industry, but in reality they were not widely deployed.  On the other hand, the 8080 chip had a huge impact and widespread adoption.  This chip was an industry game changer and was what put Intel on the map.  To be dismissive of it due to low profit margins (which this article currently does), is to give a distorted view of how significant the chip actually was.  One of the pivotal moments for Intel was when the Altair computer chose to use the 8080 chip.  Intel's 8080 and Zilog's Z-80 spent the 1970's dukeing it out for dominance.  The Z-80 (which came out later) was considered superior to the 8080 (better memory interface, better mnemonics, more registers) and gained a large adoption, but when Zilog came out with the Z-8000 as the successor this turned out to be a major misstep because it broke compatibility with the then considerable software available for the 8080/Z-80 chips (CP/M etc.).  The 8086 bent over backwards to maintain compatibility with the 8080 and ultimately won dominance in the market.  Zilog later tried to backtrack and introduced upgrades to the Z-80 but by then it was too late, Intel had run away with the market, the Z-8000 never gained much traction, but the Z-80 lived on for many decades in embedded control systems such as vending machines.  This article ought to say something about the above.  comments by Old Codger (I was a programmer in those days).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.217.0.185 (talk) 09:11, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Intel's PQS award, part of its SCQI program, seems to be something that should be included in the article, but I'm not sure how it ought to be done. Thanks for any pointers on this tactical subject. 
A larger strategic issue I'd like to discuss concerns the structure of major articles such as this one, where something of an outline can be adapted from the structure already provided by the corporation itself, in terms of a table of organization or an outline taken from the corporation's website and sitemap. While this could have some problems in various ways (copying elements of website design, letting the corporation set the tone of the article, etc.) it would make a comprehensive inclusion of the corporation's activities and programs a heck of a lot easier. Basically, I think that WP's ad-hoc style is getting in its own way in articles this complex. Can a section or sections be introduced which fit the above description?

message: In the talks about the VCPI (Virtual Control Program Interface) article we have found out that prior to the publication of the DPMI (DOS Protected Mode Interface) standard in 1990, Intel seems to have had a role in the coordination or development of a similar effort named "extended VCPI" or "XVCPI" to address the shortcomings of the original VCPI 1.0 specification around 1989/1990 in order to provide better support to the memory management and multitasking capabilities of the 386 processor. Other companies apparently involved in this effort were Digital Research with Concurrent DOS 386 and Interactive Systems with Interactive Unix, but probably there were more.
Very little is known about this. Does someone reading this remembers this standard or proposal and perhaps has announcements, documentation of any kind, or bits of background information in regard to this XVCPI thing?

message: Hi . I don't think removing that content was the best way to go about it. Just because it happened recently doesn't mean WP:RECENTISM is a problem. In fact, the statement from Intel substantiated the information and confirmed the existence of the exploit.  (ABC News). Financial Review also wrote that Intel confirmed the reports.
I think the best plan of action would be to re-add the content with Intel's statements. We can also change "the last decade" to 1995 per ABC News. The Financial Review article also contains more details to make it less speculative. Anarchyte (work | talk) 02:55, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: In fact it's even bigger than the initial news articles made it out to be. Turns out it was discovered last year at Google, the CEO knew of the exploit when $24 million worth of stock was sold, and share prices for Intel and AMD have sunk and risen, respectively. The exploits have been nickanmed Meltdown and Spectre (2nd source), so we've now got a good title for a section. Since the removal of the content, Spectre (security vulnerability) and Meltdown (security vulnerability) have been created. Anarchyte (work | talk) 05:39, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it should be now added back. But, the initial reporting was almost definitely incorrect and there are still contradictions. The current claim is that it is not an Intel-only problem but that other manufacturers are involved. Also, that the 30% performance hit is probably nonsense. Yes,  it was discovered last year. But, the Intel CEO stock was a planned, automatic sale initiated prior to discovery. Reporting has been very sloppy and the picture very different. O3000 (talk) 12:46, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added it back and updated it accordingly. I left out lots of speculation (like the stock stuff, though I think it could be important in the future). Anarchyte (work | talk) 13:15, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The 30% reduction from the Register is outlandish and should be removed. This would only occur in a specific test scenario that would never exist in a real application. O3000 (talk) 13:19, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not just The Register that announced this. I've modified it to demonstrate this, as well as saying that it's workload-dependent. Anarchyte (work | talk) 13:27, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I read The Register. But, I would never cite it. The 30% number is an estimate of a theoretical max if you wrote code to specifically exercise code to fix the problem that has yet to be developed. It's a very scary number with no relation to reality. O3000 (talk) 13:30, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: IMO it's important to include the 30% given that so many articles included it, many of which do no directly cite The Register. With this said, there have been other professionals and researchers that have agreed it's exaggerated, so I've added some more info. Anarchyte (work | talk) 13:39, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: This is why we have WP:RECENTISM. The actual numbers will be reported once fixes have been distributed. O3000 (talk) 13:43, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm aware of recentism, but it's the only well-sourced number we've got. We can amend and update it once more official numbers are released. And anyway, the article basically shrugs the 30% claim off immediately afterwards anyway. Anarchyte (work | talk) 13:57, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: But is it well-sourced? Aren't all the sources referring to the same source? And this is an extreme statement. It suggests that 90% of servers and PCs will slow by 30%. That would have massive worldwide impact and severely damage Intel and other major companies, possibly crippling e-commerce. It is irresponsible for us to repeat this wild guess.

text: That's not a Forbe's article. It's a post to a Forbe's blog and not RS. O3000 (talk) 14:33, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: That's entirely my bad; shouldn't be searching for sources at 1am. Anyway, I'm happy with the way the section has progressed. Have a great 2018! Anarchyte (work | talk) 05:36, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Realy Forbe's bad. They make their blogs look like articles. WaPo does the same. Sources for tech are a problem. Financial mags get involved as the tech market is so large. But, their reporting is often lacking. The Register tends to be overdramatic and Ars Technica tends to have heavy biases. Anandtech is more reliable, but their coverage not as wide. Those are just my opinions. O3000 (talk) 16:37, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  2018 flaw 

message: hi  and  and anyone else interested in joining in. As it is a week later, it seems worth revisiting the performance impact portion of the 2018 bug section with update values. As it is contentious, I though we could discuss it here. Some recent sources from Microsoft, Intel, RedHat and secondary source commentary.  
I propose to replace: The Register estimated that fixes would result in a ballpark figure of a 5% to 30% performance reduction with a lower reduction on newer processors, though Intel and others, including Bryan Ma at IDC, believed this to be exaggerated. Using the initial Linux Kernel page-table isolation mitigation showed little impact in some benchmarks, but slowing in particular use-cases.
With: The impact of the initial fixes varied by operating system, CPU, and task; ranging from no impact to a noticeable decrease in system performance. These effects were most pronounced older CPUs and older versions of Windows.

thread_title:  2018 bug performance hit 

message: Intel® Optane™ Technology – Wikipedia updates; Intel Talk page
The following is an outline of proposed information that can be added to the Intel talk page:
Section: 1.1: Operating segments
[Change copy in the Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group bullet]
Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group – 4% of 2016 revenues – manufactures NAND flash memory and Intel Optane memory, products primarily used in solid-state drives.[10]
[Reference does not change]
Section: 3.4: Solid-state drives (SSD)
[Change copy to]
In 2008, Intel began shipping mainstream solid-state drives (SSDs) with up to 160 GB storage capacities.[135] As with their CPUs, Intel develops SSD chips using ever-smaller nanometer processes. These SSDs make use of industry standards such as NAND flash,[136] mSATA,[137] PCIe, and NVMe. In 2017, Intel introduced SSDs based on Intel Optane technology.[138]

thread_title:  Pentium 

message: In Otellini's 2013 interview , he acknowledges a mistake in not making mobile chips for Apple; volume became 100 times bigger than forecast. The path not taken was later associated with a large job loss, as the old PC chip business became stagnant, and Intel could not pivot to mobile. It seems notable, but I don't know how to apply it to the article. Talk archive offers no help. TGCP (talk) 22:19, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 18 February 2021 

message: I don't know what happened here, it sort of looks like some vandals did a drive-by. I'm going to do this the easy way, pull the entire source down, organize it and edit to make it an article about Intel - the corporation. Some of the statements on this page are laughable. For a point of reference: Intel has been more of a benefit to society than it has been a hindrance, or damaging. Yes, intel has caused damages, some that may have created other/more problems. My intent and obligation is to represent them equally with appropriate weighting without minimizing or unnecessary elevation. The point is to make it an encyclopedic article about Intel "the company"  without the multiple deep-dives into tangential issues, living on such an awful layout.

text: It would be nice to have a section with a clear overview of their major fabs. Agree that some clean-up of the article is needed and that a lot of material (like the products section which needs more refs) could be moved to dedicated articles to make the main article cleaner and easier to read. - Indefensible (talk) 01:11, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Civic education 

message: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel#Ultrabook_fund_(2011)
This section is talking in present tense about sources dating back to 2011. It could probably use a change to past tense at least but probably needs a full update to what happened with the fund as the results of this fund should be observable at this point.
