And...back to AMD?
It says "for personal reasons," which is not text I would expect if he was just going to another company.
He could have had a falling out with Intel losing their edge

#12Jim’s talk with Lex Friedman was quite amazing. Highly recommend listening- https://youtu.be/Nb2tebYAaOA
Amazing how he didn't know how to read until age 8, and then read two books a week up to now (about 50 years)
Re: Jim Keller to Depart Intel
#13That’s a huge surprise. For reference, Intel’s stock is down 6.5% today (on what is admittedly a historically bad day for the market to begin with).

I love all of Lex's podcasts. They've been truly mind-expanding for me personally.

#15Resigned effective immediately, announced the same day due to "personal reasons" is not a good look. Anyone who's spent a sufficient amount of time reading $BIGCORP press releases immediately sees how it stands out from the usual PR fluff.
In situations where I have seen that in the past, the person was caught in grievously bad, unambiguous case of sexual harassment, racism or something equally socially despised.
If this is not the case, Intel's PR people are doing a serious disservice to Keller in the way the announcement has been structured.
Generally if a higher level executive resigns due to actual "personal reasons" or a family tragedy, and it's an amicable departure, it's announced with at least a few weeks notice.

#16If Jim is going back to Apple or AMD then the Intel struggle won’t stop anytime soon.
As much as I like Apple, I hope his choice will be AMD.

Your throwing of shade is unwarranted:
> Intel is pleased to announce, however, that Mr. Keller has agreed to serve as a consultant for six months to assist with the transition.

#20And...back to AMD?
It says "for personal reasons," which is not text I would expect if he was just going to another company.
Also, he's agreed to stay on as a consultant for the next six months, which I assume is not something you'd do if you were planning on working for a competitor at the same time.
