Introduction by Lip-BU Tan:
I’m an engineer at heart. Nothing motivates me more than solving hard problems. Our teams across Intel are driven by this same mindset—inspired by the power of technology to enable new solutions to our customers’ toughest challenges.
I fundamentally believe this will be a catalyst for innovation throughout… Read More
At the recent Hot Chips conference, Intel® unveiled Clearwater Forest, its next-generation Xeon® 6 processor with efficiency cores (E-cores). The unveiling was made by Don Soltis, Xeon Processor Architect and Intel Fellow with over four decades of processor design experience and a long-standing contributor to the Xeon roadmap.… Read More
We are in the midst of one of the most transformative periods for data center infrastructure. The explosion of AI, cloud-scale workloads, and hyperscale networking is forcing rapid innovation not only in compute and storage, but in the very fabric that connects them. At the recent Hot Chips conference, Pat Fleming gave a talk on… Read More
In an era dominated by artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and high-performance computing (HPC), the demand for semiconductors that deliver high data throughput, low latency, and energy efficiency has never been greater. Traditional chip designs often struggle to keep pace with these requirements, leading… Read More
There is a lot of talk about where Intel went wrong, the latest is missing AI, but people seem to forget one of the more defining blunders in the history of Intel. In April of 2012 Kirk Skaugen, the new general manager of Intel’s client PC group, moderated a Q&A with Mark Bohr, a 33+ year Intel fellow, and Brad Heaney, the Ivy Bridge… Read More
“Most companies don’t die because they are wrong; most die because they don’t commit themselves. They fritter away their valuable resources while attempting to make a decision. The greatest danger is standing still.” Andy Grove’s Only the Paranoid Survive, first published in 1996.
Looking back 20 years, we all know this… Read More
A recent commentary from four former Intel board members argue that Intel should be split into two separate companies with separate CEOs and separate board of directors. Charlene Barshefsky, Reed Hundt, James Plummer, and David Yoffie wrote that Intel shareholders should insist on a split which would create a new, independent,… Read More
Lip-Bu Tan made it very clear on his most recent call that Intel will not continue to invest in leading edge semiconductor manufacturing solo. Lip-Bu is intimately familiar with TSMC and that is the collaborative business model he envisions for Intel Foundry. I support this 100%. Intel and Samsung have tried to compete head-to-head… Read More
Probably one of the most anticipated semiconductor investor calls was held last week and it did not disappoint. It was Lip-Bu Tan’s first full quarter since he took over as CEO. In the resulting discussions on the SemiWiki Forum I am viewed as overly optimistic of Intel’s recent pivot. That is true, I am optimistic, but my observations… Read More
Anirudh (Cadence President and CEO) had two fireside chats during CadenceLIVE 2025, the first with Jensen Huang (Founder and CEO of NVIDIA) to kick off the show, and later in the day with Lip-Bu Tan (CEO of Intel). Of course Jensen and Lip-Bu also turn up for other big vendor shows but I was reminded that there is something special about… Read More
