Intel has a new CEO

Well, he's worked at this place for the last 19 years, so it's at least relevant...

I am glad they hired someone who has never worked a day in their lives at Intel. Smart move. He has dealt with many of the industry players and knows Intel isn't going to win cause Intel is Intel and Intel engineers are the Inteliness bestiest best engineers in the world. Now lets set those silicon targets to 99.99% of the theoretical Limit Cause Intel is INTEL.

Now can he actually change the Intel culture. Correct the we can do anything... and let me futz this here to get my bonus culture. We'll see.

It's going to be difficult to un-sink the Titanic, but it isn't below the waves just yet.

This guy will need to gut the board, kick asses, and completely re-wire the whole thing to fix the mess they're in.

Well its the board that hired him. :) I'm not sure the board is the main issue though. I feel there are about 20 levels of management that he needs to show the door.

I'm happier that they at least hired somebody relevant to the field and not some CEO formerly at an investment firm or something.

You got it. Blue Tan Lips better be a Mullaly. Trim the fat, leverage everything into R&D and focus on the essentials - better processors/nodes.

In a letter to employees today, Tan said that under his leadership Intel will work hard to “restore Intel’s position as a world-class products company [and] establish ourselves as a world-class foundry”, suggesting he understands and believes in Intel’s rare advantage as an IDM.

While these words are reassuring, the appointment of someone with a lifetime of serious industry credentials is a huge relief, not least because it means that if a split is inevitable, it will at least be for the right reasons.

Interesting back history between current Intel & Nvidia CEOs

Tan is also a personal friend of both AMD CEO Lisa Su and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

In fact, Tan told BI that when Huang told him many years ago that Nvidia would be a full-platform company with software just as valuable as its hardware, they argued.

"I said, 'No, you're semiconductor company.' And he said, 'No, you're completely wrong. I'm a software and system company,'" Tan recounted.

Today, Tan admits Huang was right. Nvidia's CUDA software is envied by many who try to compete with the $3 trillion juggernaut. Its 70% profit margins also make it look more like a software company than a chip firm.

From a month back:


When Lip-Bu Tan speaks, the chip industry listens.

The semiconductor executive and investor has wielded his influence over most of the major names in the chip business and served on the boards of Annapurna Labs — which now fuels Amazon's chip ambitions — SoftBank, and Intel, among others.

Tan was even reported to be a candidate for Intel's open CEO spot, though when Business Insider spoke to him, he smiled and said "no comment" on that issue.

His legendary status was solidified long ago when he orchestrated an intervention at Cadence Design Systems — a semiconductor design firm in crisis.

He stepped in as CEO in 2009 with the stock below three dollars. He revamped the company's approach to its tech road map and customer relations and overhauled the business model from a perpetual license model to a subscription. Today, the stock is above $320 per share. He stayed in the CEO seat until 2021.

Tan's reputation is such that the day he resigned from Intel's board in August, the firm's stock dropped 6%.

I like the hire and the strategy as noted so far. Shopping 18A and trying to wine and dine nvidia. I picked up some stock at 19.30. I think i'll sell off half after the keynote if it spikes and I expect it will. I'm up pretty good at the moment.

His name is Lip-Bu Tan. Note that Hock Tan (Hock-Eng Tan) is currently CEO of Broadcom. Both are Malaysian born American executives. Both graduated from MIT.

Most important is not his origin but to see if he can steer Intel back to where it was....

Dear Intel, give us a processor for 200 euros (like an i5 750 or 2500k) that will run games at a minimum of 60 fps at 4k, and for enthusiasts, make a CPU (like an i7 875k or 2600k) that will run games at a minimum of 120 fps at 4k.

I don't follow Intel, maybe I set too low requirements, this ultra 265k is about 400 euros and more.
14600kf I don't know if it goes on ddr4 and it consumes a lot and has a high tdp.
I'd rather buy a amd 5700X3d and a new motherboard.
