That’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).
If 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.
Every time I criticise Intel, Or more like pointing out facts , supporters will always use Jim Keller as the excuse, as if he was the silver bullet. Intel's struggle has nothing to do with is processors' design. Sunny Cove and Willow Cove ( aka Icelake and TigerLake ) were close to design complete before Jim Keller joined. Intel's problem is with their manufacturing, both technical and economical. And Jim Keller is n…

Why do you say their problem is based in manufacturing?
Best guess: Jim Keller came in with guns blazing about how Moore's law is not dead and if you believe so you're stupid. He was a comp-architecture guy counting on the device/physics folks to deliver. They didn't, while Jim put his reputation on the line. He probably resigned in disappointment and/or protest. - Moore's law is dead at the physics level. - Exponential tech progress doesn't stop but it won't be in the fo…

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
Intel has to change something to catch up with AMD. So I imagine the 'play safe' people have less power now.
Jim’s talk with Lex Friedman was quite amazing. Highly recommend listening- https://youtu.be/Nb2tebYAaOA
I wish that the interviewer had more background in computer architecture. A lot of these questions wouldn't be asked if he took an architecture class in school. Keller says a lot of interesting things in this interview that aren't followed up on. He calls for more substantial changes and architectural changes, I wonder what he thinks of spatial architectures.
That said, I haven't listened to him much, and he just grated me wrong here.

The video goes from something that 100,000 people with a computer architecture background might watch to something that 10,000,000 people with a tech background might watch.
