I’ve heard rumors he was viewed as a lightweight, or at least not as much of a serious engineer as Morris Chang was in his 60s, but even still his tenure was surprisingly short…

This is not good. We already know what happened when CFO took over. It was a time when Intel totaly lost control. They are gona get bought for penies. OMG

Instead of saying to AMD they will be in the rearview mirror, they should have been paranoid. Not do stupid GPUs. and destroy others where it mattered

They wanted to preserve his dignity, so he was retired instead of being fired.

> Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) today announced that CEO Pat Gelsinger retired from the company after a distinguished 40-plus-year career and has stepped down from the board of directors, effective Dec. 1, 2024

Is it a "he retired" or a "we retired him"?

Are those GPUs really stupid? They seem like a great price for performance devices when ultra high level gaming is not the priority.

EDIT: I personally always liked intel iGPUs because they were always zero bullshit on Linux minus some screen tearing issues and mumbo-jumbo fixes required in X11.

Time to split off Intel's foundry operations?
