| schestowitz[TR2] | "it sounds just like pouring good money down the drain - why not put all that money into a big trash barrel instead and set it on fire in the Armonk campus for all to see ? Because it is obvious that nothing is coming out of this effort and it's a real paradox that Arvind can say that IBM should no longer be chasing research patents and publications if they don't generate revenue and yet, this is exactly the thing he is doing here. | Jun 28 06:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This is total bullsh-t from Arvind as CEO. If there is no headway for this project in the industry, stop the project immediately and dump it. Let's face it - IBM is a flop compared to other companies and it has become like this thanks to Arvind and his Pipmunks and their rubbish culture. How many billions of dollars have been sunk into this cr-p ? | Jun 28 06:50 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Agreed. This feels like a last-ditch effort to breathe new life into Albany’s floundering nanosheet work that Huiming has championed for years. It is his passion project. | Jun 28 06:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The problem is that the industry either wasn’t interested in IBM’s implementation or developed its own versions. As a result, IBM generated essentially no meaningful licensing revenue from the technology. While IBM made genuine scientific contributions, the basic nanosheet concept wasn’t created or invented there. It was already being explored and advanced by multiple companies and research groups. IBM largely built upon an e | Jun 28 06:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | xisting industry direction rather than creating it. They copied it. | Jun 28 06:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | From a research perspective, it’s an impressive accomplishment. From a business perspective, it’s hard to argue it was a success. After years of investment in time, resources, and manpower, where is the return on investment? | Jun 28 06:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Even Huiming has acknowledged in his posts for years now has mentioned one of the most common questions he receives is when the industry will adopt IBM’s technology. The reality is that no one appears poised to adopt IBM’s specific implementation. Or ever will even entertain it. | Jun 28 06:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This latest announcement feels like doubling down on the same strategy. IBM itself is saying commercial high-volume manufacturing could be five years away. In the semiconductor industry, five years is an eternity. By then, newer, better, and—most importantly—more cost-effective solutions will likely exist. | Jun 28 06:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Nanosheet and stacked nanosheet technologies absolutely have a future. But if they become commercially successful, the revenue is far more likely to come from companies like Intel, Samsung, or TSMC with their own manufacturing-ready implementations just not IBM’s. So it’s almost a waste of time and money. | Jun 28 06:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | That’s what makes IBM’s strategy so puzzling. The company continues to invest heavily in technologies that generate impressive headlines and publications but have struggled to translate into meaningful licensing revenue or commercial return. | Jun 28 06:50 |

Sharpen the pencils real good before you shove it up your a-s and your managers a-s. Then you will feel what kind of pain you have become.

| schestowitz[TR2] | The Alderon split is basically a layoff to take headcount off IBM books after over-hiring for Rapidus. Most of if not all other business deals also never happened. Even the Rapidus partnership does not look like it is going very well, and it seems they want out. | Jun 28 20:39 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | This feels like Huiming’s heavy-handed attempt to cement his legacy. The difference is that past semiconductor legends earned their reputations through years of hard work, genuine innovation, and commercial success. Instead, he seems determined to force nanosheets and “nanostacks” into every conversation, whether they deserve the spotlight or not. It’s like trying to force and punch a puzzle piece into a spot where it simpl | Jun 28 20:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | y doesn’t belong. | Jun 28 20:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The irony is that he’s chasing a model of legacy that itself has become antiquated. The era of singular, larger-than-life semiconductor icons—the Moores, Dennards, and Hus—is largely over. Today’s breakthroughs are driven by massive, collaborative ecosystems spanning companies, universities, suppliers, and research consortia, not by one individual trying to become the face of a technology. | Jun 28 20:39 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Well I have to give Gerstner credit. I worked at both IBM and Digital Equipment Corporation in my career. While Gerstner was able to turn IBM around, Bob Palmer from DEC failed miserably after trying to take over from the founder, Ken Olson. At DEC, Ken did not believe in layoffs and he was forced out by the board. DEC was bleeding red, losing more money every day. Don’t get me wrong, layoffs are not an excuse for poor management | Jun 28 20:42 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | That's a convenient way to dismiss one of the biggest corporate turnarounds in history. Plenty of executives have inherited struggling companies. Very few have successfully turned them around. If it were simply a matter of "being in the right place at the right time," we'd see successful turnarounds all the time. We don't. | Jun 28 20:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Mr. Gerstner made difficult strategic decisions, preserved IBM as an integrated company when many wanted to break it up, restored profitability, and repositioned IBM for the future. Those weren't accidents or products of luck | Jun 28 20:42 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @dn let's turn the question around, shall we ? Was anyone else given the opportunity to turn IBM around when it was in trouble ? | Jun 28 20:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | What I am saying is this - even incremental changes made to the right departments by a loser at IBM at the right time would result in good results. Timing is everything - you just gotta be in the right place at the right time for things to click. I met Dead Gerbil and all he reminded me of was a pugnacious pit bull. Not very bright, but a persistent pit bull nonetheless. And he knew it too. It was ra-e and pillage in lots of places | Jun 28 20:42 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Nobody claimed Mr. Gerstner worked for free. CEOs are paid to lead companies, and he was compensated accordingly. | Jun 28 20:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The relevant question is whether he delivered results. When Mr. Gerstner became CEO, IBM was in serious financial trouble and many believed it would be broken apart. Under his leadership, IBM returned to profitability, remained an integrated company, and regained its footing in the technology industry. | Jun 28 20:42 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @d7 Let's get one thing right about Dead Gerbil when he worked for Legacy IBM at it's CEO - he did not work for FREE. He was typical of other CEOs and Executives. And when he left IBM, he took a whopping $189 million as his severance package. While you will say he saved the IBM company, he didn't do it out of the goodness of his heart or for any charitable reason. That is business. | Jun 28 20:42 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | I hate to give advice but you really shouldn't rely on IBM management for raises. Treat yourself. As I write, I'm sitting in my lovely new ergonomic chair, a gift I took from IBM.
