Well it's about time another chip maker takes the spot as top chip maker.
This wont be the first time a company let consultants talk them into getting rid of their key top people, and replace them with affirmative action recipients.
Then those discarded employees go on to create bigger and better companies than they were disenfranchised from.
That is how Mackie sound reinforcement got started.
Is it possible that white men are overrepresented in tech simply because they are very good at it?

Article fails to mention how many companies hire Indians so that they don't have to hire blacks.

White men make up a disproportionate share of prison inmates compared with Asian men or white women. This is clear evidence of greater propensity for criminal activity.
I am not sympathetic to criminals. We should scrutinize white men carefully in the hiring process.
These corporations are increasingly more concerned about their PC public image than their innovation. That's not a good sign.
to diversify its workforce.
At least for school admissions, in order to achieve the same social engineering goals, that means letting folks in with lower qualifications. It apparently in Intel's case means quotas as well. I hope professional sports takes note.
I always wondered why Intel stock has been flat or declined for the past year. Now I know why. Glad I sold Intel after owning it for just two months. You are better off with Chip companies at 1/10th the market cap (10 billion). They grow @ 100% per year.
Obama offered Intels boss a Foreign Lobbying job if he destroys the company?

I know of a black who was fired by an Indian, who sued for racial discrimination. Funny thing was that the black was less "black" than the Indian in complexion!!!

In January, Intel INTC, -0.75% surprised Silicon Valley when Chief Executive Brian Krzanich announced at the Consumer Electronics Show a big effort — backed by plans to spend $300 million — to diversify its workforce. The company’s goal is that by 2020, its workforce will be less white and male-dominated and more reflective of the broader U.S. working population.
Intel has already made progress in hiring more women and people of color, and it intends for its initiative to influence other tech companies. Last week, Krzanich was the keynote speaker at a PUSH Tech 2020, a conference in San Francisco organized by the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition. The theme of the conference was to get Silicon Valley to look more seriously at diversifying its workforce and to expand its hiring horizons.
