    MatthewSH got a reaction from -rascal- in Intel Replaces Bob Swan with VMWare’s Pat Gelsinger   
    Summary
     
     After his just over 2 years as CEO, Bob Swan will officially be stepping down as Intel's CEO as of February 15th, 2021. VMware's CEO Pat Gelsinger is set to take over as Intel's new CEO. In fact, Gelsinger was Intel's first CTO as well. He left Intel in September of 2009 to join EMC. Gelsinger was with Intel for 30 years prior to leaving and contributed to the creation of technologies such as USB and Wi-Fi.

    My thoughts
    Although I personally do not believe Swan is at fault completely for Intel's failures in the recent years, it will be nice to see Gelsinger back with Intel. Also, with him being a former CTO of Intel, it may bring a fresh perspective to the role of CEO that we haven't seen in a long time.
     
    Honestly, I agree with many other and even previous WAN show comments that someone with an engineering background in some way should be running a company like Intel. Gelsinger has decades within the IT field, while Swan has degrees in business administration; while an MBA might suit a CEO well in many companies I don't think it suits Intel well. Gelsinger was with Intel for 30 years prior to leaving and helped

    That's cause sleep is a blocking function. It won't let anything else run until it finished. In JS setInterval is not blocking like any pause/sleep/wait functions. That's where you went wrong with that one, but hey. We all learn. I used to make so same exact mistakes years ago when I first started. Timers are tricky things to do for a lot of people. That's why I always try to default to timestamps and logic to determine if the item should be handled or not.

    Well if you are looking to build in November then this is all wide open, by then we could have new GPU's and CPU's, then at that point might as well. GPU prices really won't drop prior to launch anyways so your same hard eared $$$ can go further.
     
    For the money AMD is better value, I have 3 AMD systems right now, and one 8th gen Intel system. But the 10600k is a really good performing gaming CPU, OC's really high and for gaming can compare to a 10900k. I am likely getting one myself, just waiting on next gen AMD stuff to justify it first, I will be using it for gaming only.

    I would go with one of LG’S ultra gear IPS monitor (best options on the market IMO) or Asus’s fast response time IPSs.
