Sounds like the guy to trim Intel to be sold in in parts.
Intel engineers: thank you for these amazing machines, for all these years. They shaped many lives. We salute you.

Re: Intel appoints Lip-Bu Tan as its CEO
#22He's supposedly quite low level, savvy about Platform Development Kits (PDK). Worked at Cadence, so he knows a lot about relating to other people making chips, selling IP, working with EDA tools. A lot of potential here! The disagreement with the board was supposedly related more to elements of the board trying to parts up and sell off bits of Intel. Harder to report that directly. Good for him, food sign if true. To…
> That's what I'm trying to understand. His educational background was in Physics/Nuclear Engineering so he's obviously a smart guy, and he was CEO/Chairman of Cadence for 15 years, but other than that his 40+ year career has most been in VC and being on the boards of an incredibly large number of companies.
He is no Pat. He is no Andy. He is a business guy with some hard science behind (not electronics per se). It doesn't feel right.

#23There will be a all-hands in the next few weeks, supposedly. I hope whoever sees this reply, if you are in a position to do so comfortably, ask him straightforwardly whether he has or has heard about a plan to knife and sell INTC in the next 18 months.
Intel employees are at high risk of losing their jobs. I don't think cornering the new CEO at an all-hands is a good idea. And I wouldn't even trust his answer, anyway.

Actually, he sounds like the opposite, but anyway.

#27If he wants to succeed, he will need to reconsistute the board. That's a tough one since they appointed him, but otherwise it won't work. The type of transformation Intel needs to go through won't withstand a myopic, short term oriented bureaucracy.

Intel is a publicly listed company.

Yes, and I'm sure all those public shareholders are mighty unhappy with the current board's stewardship.

#30Earlier quoted context omitted.
The current CEO was supposed to be a down to earth, technical, no bureaucracy guy as well.

Isn't it kind of mean-spirited and divisive to imply that people are mentally unwell for practicing religious beliefs of their choice?
Would you still be saying that if he was Muslim, Jewish, or Hindu?
