At the Chiplet Summit this week Intel was all the hallway buzz. Another rumor from the conference from someone who would not necessarily know:
I know Sanjay from Qualcomm, Motorola and GlobalFoundries and really like him. He was highly regarded at QCOM, did the mobility split and sale to Google while at Motorola and did the IBM manufacturing deal at GF where IBM literally paid GF to take IBM manufacturing assets. He did not, however, do the pivot away from 7nm at GF like ChatGPT says. That was Tom Caufield. Sanjay is definitely a visionary. He would not be my top pick for Intel CEO but he is better than the ones I have seen in the media being considered. Intel needs to cut costs and I'm not sure Sanjay is the right person for that role. And of course he has a PhD as would be the Intel tradition of their best CEOs.
