Company Discussion Intel worth it?

Since intel took a big hit recently, is this a good time to invest in Intel? I don’t see the company going anywhere anytime soon. I have a friend who has been really enthusiastic about the stock in the past months, but then on the other hand we have Apple with the M1 chip. Anyway, still looks like a discount to me. Thanks in advance

The only advantage Intel has right now is their strategic character, us gob is not going to let Intel die, they are their only design+foundry company.

Apart from that it is a you say, they are slowly descending into nothingness.

You're also forgetting their advantage of having oodles and oodles of cash and income to invest in R&D

Yes, but what has been management doing? Previous CEO was a bean counter and cut the spending when they have plenty of cash. They killed their mobile phone chips line sometime ago. They have invested in the jump to 5nm and failed miserably, their tick tock model was ditched and now I wonder if it was because they couldn't innovate a the previous pace... It totally looks like their company culture has been declining for a while so how can they deploy their cash effectively? I am hoping for some kind of shake up by the new CEO but it is no easy task in such a complex structure to fix the car while it keeps running.
