Intel to layoff 15,000 employees as CPU strategy shifts

Earlier submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41133489

To be perfectly frank, if intel is going to layoff that many people, I will not buy any intel thing ever again. They are run by MBAs that don't know anything about engineering and that shows that is a competitive disadvantage for the foreseeable future. Intel seals their legacy to the path of fairchild with these actions, aka Dead.

And everyone else around the CEO is a finance related MBA, they brought him back to lend legitimacy, which isn't working according to their actions.

From the article

  Intel said Thursday that the company will lay off more than 15 percent of its workforce  

and

  Intel will cut roughly 15,000 of its 131,000-employee headcount, most by the end of the year

15% of 131,000 is ~20,000, so are there more to come or is workforce =/= headcount?

15,000 people?? How many households will that affect?
