Prompted by seeing a new article from Claus Aasholm at Semiconductor Business Intelligence (who deserves all the credit for this insight and has some of the best data graphics I've ever seen).
He rightly points out that even as we pass [probably] the period of maximum pessimism around Intel and mass layoffs are still occuring, we do also know that Lip-Bu Tan is committed to refreshing Intel with necessary new hires to drive the turnaround. So we can usefully start paying attention to exactly who Intel is trying to hire and where.
Claus' analysis suggests that Intel's open hiring positions have actually turned back upwards. Also interesting to note that there's be no drop in total Intel headcount in Asia (though some might still be working its way through).
My own instinct is that doing the right new hiring and getting the right people in the right positions may be even more important than the current headcount reductions. And this is something I definitely think Lip-Bu Tan can do. As long as he doesn't get too many more interruptions from his new shareholder.

Update on Intel Headcount
HR is back from vacation, and the number of open jobs has increased by 53% over the last 5 weeks. The new strategy is surfacing.
