Wow, I didn't expect Intel to have such problems! 😯 I wonder how this will affect the processor market as a whole?
Hans
Yes, Intel's situation is difficult. But what surprises me more is how generously Nvidia pays its engineers! 💰 No wonder many go there.
Sophie
I agree with Hans! Nvidia is clearly betting on talent. But Intel seems to have underestimated the importance of employee retention. I wonder how they plan to get out of this situation? 🤔
Carlos
I think this is a great opportunity for other companies! Apple and Amazon are also not asleep. Competition in the market can lead to the emergence of new interesting technologies 🚀
Giuseppe
Bah! Again this pursuit of money and new technologies. Previously, engineers worked in one place all their lives and were happy. Now give them higher salaries and shares. No stability!
Anna
Giuseppe, times are changing! Highly qualified specialists deserve decent pay. And competition between companies only benefits consumers - we get more advanced products 😊
Olivia
Anna is right! By the way, it’s interesting that Huawei is also on the list of companies where Intel employees are leaving. Looks like they are serious about developing their technology 🇨🇳💻
Michal
But I’m wondering how this will affect the prices of processors for us, ordinary users? 🤑 I hope that competition will lead to lower prices, and not the other way around!
