    Enshitification is when a company’s quality decreases in favor of pocketing more money. It’s about greed and projecting the illusion you’re growing as a company. Shareholders like growth. This is exactly what intel is doing.

    They cant pocket more money by selling their existing product for more money, as people won’t pay for it and profits will decrease.

    They can’t pocket more money by selling a better product as that costs money in itself and won’t guarantee the return you’re looking for.

    The only other play is to slim down your existing product and pray no one notices.

    Intel chose the last option.
