Offtopic questions:

> Intel will broadly offer applications for a “voluntary departure” program next week to employees at the company, according to the memo. The company is also announcing a companywide enhanced retirement offering for eligible employees.

What does it mean for anyone to voluntarily depart and what is this enhanced retirement offering?

Never heard of such practices before, hence my mind is very curious.

They are just severance packages.

No, they aren't. Intel is old enough to have an actual "retirement" plan and not just a 401k match program.
