Lip-Bu Tan, the newly appointed executive director of Intel, has launched an important leadership restructuring aimed at optimizing decision making in the company. The appointment of a new technology manager, who will also be the new head of IA in Intel, is the most important change, but not the only one.
The new CEO has the great objective of get Intel from the worst moment in its history. And the task is as urgent as complicated and in several fields; From the financial to recover from the red numbers in 2024 (the first time that Intel suffered annual losses since 1986) to the technician improving the design and manufacture of semiconductors, going through occupying a position at the height of its legacy in the technology that today occupies it: artificial intelligence.
New Chief of AI in Intel
Lip-bu so bet on a new directive structure, more horizontal and with more own responsibilitysince the technical leaders of the key groups will have a direct relationship with the CEO. We already knew that the Data Center divisions and Intel would report directly to such a responsibility assumed by the Executive Director of Intel products, Michelle Johnston Holthaus.
Now, new appointments are announced among which the Sachin Katti as CTO and leader of the artificial intelligence initiative of the company. «Sachin Katti is expanding his position to include the director of Intel’s artificial technology and intelligence »an Intel spokesman confirmed Tom’s Hardware . “As part of your responsibility, it will lead our general AI strategy and the AI product roadmap, as well as Intel Labs and our relationship with startup and developer ecosystems”.
Until now, Katti was in charge of the Intel Network and Perimeter Computer Business Unit, and was previously director of technology of that unit. However, with the new expansion of his position, he will become director of technology of the entire company and also of Intel Labs, being responsible for all the fundamental and applied research of Intel, including the manufacturing process technologies of the company, essential for its new approach as Foundrie.
The appointment of a new Chief of Ia in Intel dedicated was expected, since Intel’s strategy to date has not been precisely successful. Intel has failed to offer attractive solutions, and its Gaudi accelerators have not been considered as a viable alternative or Nvidia products nor to AMD processors.
