Intel’s Relentless Cost-Cutting Spree – When Will the Bleeding Stop?

Another quarter, another round of layoffs. Intel's axe-wielding CFO just can't quit their favorite hobby – slashing budgets faster than a crypto trader dumping memecoins at the first sign of FUD.
The chipmaker's cost-cutting addiction has Wall Street analysts torn between applauding the fiscal discipline and questioning whether there's any fat left to trim. Meanwhile, engineers whisper about R&D budgets getting gutted while the C-suite collects bonuses for 'efficiency gains.'
Here's the brutal truth: You can't shrink your way to innovation dominance. While TSMC and Samsung pour billions into next-gen fabs, Intel keeps playing corporate surgeon – and patients rarely survive endless operations.
