One thing I don't understand are the cost-cutting measures at Intel. With huge cash reserves, why not do the hiring and buying during the slump, and slow down hiring when it takes a bidding war to gain an employee?

I understand that marginal companies have to do it to survive, but why Intel?

Barret (as well as Jerry) do work for us, shareholders. While, theoretically, Intel may sacrifice their margins in order to be more competitive against AMD in reality Barret should be concerned with shareholders value or we might fire him (again ideal real world).
