ANANDTECH上面有前Intel AXG部門員工的精采回應 翻譯與大家分享

I just can't believe there are people who believe Raja was delivering on GPU
promise. My other surprise is Raja was let go so late. I joined Intel's AXG
group some time back, genuinely believing Intel has plans in discreet GPUs
and datacenter ones (Ponte Vecchio, which Raja advertised a lot as a
revolution).


As soon as I joined, I realized it was mostly marketing and my assumptions
were totally wrong. The teams were incompetent, demotivated and were running
way beyond schedules published. My boss told me long back PVC is dead, has
some serious yield issues and next best hope is Rialto bridge. Both are dead
now.


But catalyst for me was one of the quarterly all hands by Raja and other
guy/gals in his org. The delays were written all over, the made some bogus
paper launch of dGPU on March 31, 2022 which was Raja's quarterly OKR. And to
add to that any further line of dGPUs were not only late, but not that
competitive also I figured. And I realized one important thing: Raja is not a
technical guy, he is a marketing guy who was blabbering about TAM and what
not for dGPUs when they were horribly lagging in execution. Check out his
ridiculously bold claims on 1000x improvement in PPA by 2027 on none other
site than Anandtech.
但對我來說，離開公司的催化劑是 Raja 和他手下其他人的季度全體會議。報告上延誤無
處不在，在 2022 年 3 月 31 日做了一些虛假的獨立顯卡紙上發布，這個發布算是


Looking at Raja's lofty OKRs, so detached from reality, I knew he is on his
way out. That it took so long is the only surprise I see. And he seems to
have fooled Gelsinger for long. In one of the visits to overseas offices
(with Raja), Pat mentioned he sees Raja as "the guy" in GPU instead of that
nVIDIA guy in leather jacket. I almost threw up.
看著 Raja 如此脫離現實的崇高季度目標關鍵成果，我知道他即將離職。讓我驚訝的是離
職這件事居然拖了這麼久。他似乎已經愚弄了CEO Pat Gelsinger很久了。在一次Pat和
Raja共同拜訪海外辦公室時，Pat提到他認為Raja是”代表GPU的那個人(“the guy” in
GPU)”，而不是那個在NVIDIA穿著皮夾克的人。我差點吐了。

Lastly, I judge people's integrity based on their association with "like"
minded people. Raja has stake and deep collaboration with one of the shadiest
and corrupt guys in that VFX graphics company and is also a board member. How
Intel management could not see this for years is a surprise to me, seriously.


Thankfully, I made a quick decision to leave Intel and could not have been
happier in retrospect. Not bitching about my ex-employer but it was a real
mess. I still wish Intel all the best and believe they still have some of the
brightest people who are not being utilized properly.
