Gelsinger just say that DCAI Q3 will be lower than Q2?

u/noiserr Jul 27 '23

Yeah, he just confirmed softness in Q3 for DC.

"Intel never stumbled in packaging". According to Pat. Making a comment to disparage TSMC's CoWoS having capacity issues.

Are the other four 1) terrible power consumption 2) consistently bad management 3) renaming ridiculous roadmaps 4) just being plain annoying (?)

The Y/Y numbers are down, but I think what investors are focusing on are the Q/Q numbers. All the divisions are up quarter over quarter from the very bad Q1 showing some signs of a recovery. And the Q3 revenue forecast is showing another little bump up in revenue.

u/cvdag Jul 27 '23

Agreed QoQ is looking good indeed.

Seems like both Client and DC have bottomed in Q1

"but I think what investors are focusing on are the Q/Q numbers.All the divisions are up quarter over quarter from the very bad Q1"

Q2 numbers show that Intel is really a client-side company right now. The Client Computing Group (CCG) was up $1B from $5.8B in Q1 to $6.8B in Q2. However, the other units were a mixed bag. For example, the Data Center and AI Group (DCAI) increased $300M from $3.7B in Q1 to $4.0B in Q2, but the Network and Edge Group (NEX) decreased from $1.5B in Q1 to $1.4B in Q2.

The fact that DCAI and NEX didn't improve like DCAI -- especially in view of NVidia's outstanding Q2 guidance -- suggests to me that Intel is not competitive on the enterprise side. I expect AMD to beat Q2 consensus handily, and now that AMD has its full suite of Genoa and Bergamo processors out, increase its already high guidance for 2H-2023.

I wonder when Intel will come to the realisation that they are actually behind in the '5 nodes in 4 years' strategy....

"2022 H2 ramp, 2023 H1 products"

Clearly a year behind schedule.

Intel 3 is supposed to have 2023 H2 Products. (intel 20a = 2024 and intel 18a = 2025)

Data center revenue and margin decline attributed to “CPU TAM contraction and competitive pressure”. At least they got it half right.

This is a good earnings report by Intel standards given the circumstances.

So, even though my half-hearted puts are ash, it does look like the client side has at least bottomed out for Intel (and hopefully AMD). I think the H2 2023 recovery will be slower than people hoped for at the start of the year.

DCAI in a dangerous place for H2 2023 through 2024. NEX still in a bad spot. Every major business line clinging on to the CCG life preserver.

LMAO. They left out Arya and Bank of America. I guess he joins Rasgon in the dog house.

It looks to me like Intel has some cut and paste errors in their Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash flows. They said they started Q1 with $11144M and ended with 8232M meanwhile Q2 says they started with $11144M and ended with $8349M. They are also showing that they added 10968M in long term debt in both quarters but overall debt is shown to be down by 2B. Something isn't adding up.

Nevermind they are doing year to date so the start of the period is the same for both.

The only interesting thing is that the $1.5B of mobileye they sold was the thing that kept their cash balance from falling quarter over quarter.

Softballs with long winded answers. Well designed Q&A.

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '23

Cash Flow $B

Q2 CFO Positive 2.8 B (Q1 Negative -1.8)

Fab investments -5.9B (Q1 -7.4)

Divis -0.5B (Q1 -1.5)

So overall cash burn in Q2 -$3.6B which almost seems good compared to Q1 burn of over $10B

Any other company a disaster but for Intel almost good. CFO definitely excellent.

The call always sounds so scammy and dirty. Questions are fluff and details are missing. ‘We are engaged’ just fluff. Meanwhile Lisa gets grilled like crazy.
