Inside Intel

PR fluff dressed up as engineering cred

[solferino]

Almost as absurd as the idea of Intel backing out of their IA-64 development in favor of x86-64 is the unfortunate perception that the world's largest desktop microprocessor manufacturer is not driven by engineering but rather by marketing.

th very first sentence in this article states th perception th article is focussed on diminishing

today we'll be showing you the Intel that doesn't care about anything outside of making fast, reliable and powerful circuits.

really? - as a for-profit company, perhaps their shareholders might be interested in them making maximum profit as well?

and who is this 'we' - only a single authour is mentioned at th top of th article - or perhaps his name has simply been appended to a pre-prepared puff piece?

another example of rhetorical writing pulled from th first few paragraphs

very talented engineers [who] are focused on pushing the limits of technology

ok - there may be real information contained in this article - but frankly there were enough warning signals in th first few paragraphs to tell me my time was better spent elsewhere
