Intel just keeps going farther down the drain, much like another American mainstay, Boeing. At least Intel isn't killing hundreds of people in fiery crashes, or having pieces of their CPUs falling off during use.
Judging by some of the CPU issues coming out of Intel these days, the fiery crashes are not far off.
I remember learning about CPU design and manufacure as a kid and was absolutely astounded that any of this shit could be made to work in a practical way. In my eyes Intel was immaculate perfection.
