Is working in a USA semi conductor company like Intel, Applied materials and Lam Research a safe option to whether out the layoff concerns related to the coronavirus pandemic?

    From what I know these companies are now the beneficiaries of the pandemic situation because a lot of these companies also work on chips, micro chip etc.

      I think because there is a requirement to scale up and improve chip performance in order to make work efficient. For example Nvidia might want a better chip to give great experience to gamers. Similarly, more servers needed to manage the online traffic leading to a higher demand for chips.

      You are still right. But literally nothing has changed! They might try to target chips that support higher bandwidths, but I'm sure it has already been a part of their portfolio.

      Yes, sales to support new home systems might pop up for a bit, but I've yet to see a new reason for something to change overall.

      So is Intel doing layoffs or not? I am a bit confused because of the wording of the previous message.

      If you join a main group and not an experimental one, low risk compared to amazon/facebook etc

  • I think we are starting to see slowdown. If the Huawei thing blows off... it will have ripple effects sooner or later. Semiconductors is always cyclical.
