Find a new equilibrium, use the time to better develop new tech.

How can you pay for R&D if you are making less money?

Because it's budgeted and necessary to make breakthroughs to have the new chips attractive again.

They've been feeding, time to put back some of that in investment.

If they’re not making any money they can’t invest money. When your revenue goes down, your operating expenses go down as well

It's cycles mate. They use debt off the stored value of their good times, whether via market cap or stock buybacks.

You can enact austerity if you're an idiot.

That’s not how a business works. You don’t burn cash when you are t making it. They’ll be doing r&d for sure, but when you have less cash coming in and more inventory building, the solution is not spend more money to sell a new product when the old ones are selling
