Tech fans - Come influence Intel's graphics roadmap (Sw, hw, drivers, control panels, features, optimizations, compatibility, APIs, etc.)

What is there to "influence?" I really don't like that term cause it seems like some sort of subterfuge and under-handed way of selling a bad product.

It's really simple in the tech world, make good product, it sells itself, make bad product or make a good product but completely cut support (Edison comes to mind out of many many Intel products), people will not be as open to your products.

The problem I see with you guys is the same as all other chip companies. You guys wanted to get as much out of making your P&L look good so that you can get some brownie points and a fat bonus, you let go of too many of your key players.

The graphic card looks underwhelming. If you are trying to compete against Nvidia in this space, even AMD is struggling.

And poaching a "higher up" from AMD, which you guys did, isn't gonna solve anything. Most, if not all higher ups I've seen at chip companies tends to be pretty useless in terms of knowledge and skill. Most of the ones I've seen climbed up there by kissing a lot of asses, name throwing other higher-ups names, and generally love telling people what great educational background they have while being a useless engineer who can't solve even the simplest problems.
