I expect the real issue here is that Cotton doesn’t abide by having a non-white CEO at the helm of a good ol’ American company. That said, Cadence was caught with their pants down, and should be punished accordingly.

    Isn’t this the guy who outright said their focus is now short term profitability and cost cutting?

    For Intel’s sake, I hope he goes.

      Yeah for all his shortcomings Pat Gelsinger had the right plan for Intel. But the board wanted to see the numbers go up every quarter – long-term viability be damned – and he couldn’t do both that and push all of their advanced engineering directives, so something had to give (which in this case was Gelsinger himself).
