Ask HN: Is Intel’s Struggle a Sign That OKRs Are Ineffective?

Intel has been under-performing in recent years, missing out on major trends like mobile and GPUs/Machine Learning.
Given that the OKR (Objectives and Key Results) methodology was pioneered at Intel, could their current struggles suggest that OKRs might not be as effective as believed? Are OKRs causing companies to micro-optimize and reach local maxima rather than driving true innovation? Or Intel failure have nothing to do with OKR?

Would love to hear experiences and thoughts from others who have used OKRs in their organizations or if I´m just too grumpy about OKR.
