Intel Removes Tech Development Director Due To Core Ultra 200S Failure; Gave Her “Blank Check” In 2022

Expert Verified By

Intel Core Ultra 200S Series Failed Miserably!

Intel decided to remove its technology development director, Ann Kelleher. This is due to the failure of the Intel Core Ultra 200S series processors and the IFS data.

According to CEO Pat Gelsinger, Navid Shahriari, who currently leads design engineering in Arizona, will take on additional responsibilities in the technology development area to eventually take over the division. However, Intel did not precisely state if Shahriari will move to Oregon, where the major Intel factories are located.

Why it matters: Kelleher has worked at Intel for nearly three decades, began her career as a process engineer in Ireland and has worked her way up to executive vice president and chief technology officer since 2020. She also received a blank check from Intel to invest in rebuilding the company’s manufacturing edge.

Intel 18A CPUs

Intel’s announcement is pivotal as the company readies its 18A chip technology;

“Ann isn’t going anywhere. Given the importance of TD (technology development), we have a robust long-term succession planning process,”

 

“Navid is taking on new responsibilities to be prepared to eventually take over the TD role,” Intel said. “This reflects long term succession planning while Ann remains firmly in her role.”

The new Intel 18A CPUs are now the hope for Intel to gain a positive reputation again after messing up with the Intel Core Ultra 200S. Intel thinks its new cutting-edge technology will outperform TSMC, attracting customers as Intel is already tight on budget.

For the budget tightening effort, Intel has reduced $10 billion in expenses due to cutting 15,000 jobs worldwide, 1,300 layoffs in Oregon and others in Silicon Valley.

Patrick P. Gelsinger, Intel’s CEO, said he was confident in Kelleher’s work on the 18A-based CPUs, which are “on track to come to market next year.”

Although the announcement of Kelleher’s succession at this transitional period highlights the significance of his work and Intel’s efforts to regain its competitiveness in the semiconductor industry, it also shows that, given the performance of its CPUs and the financially struggling IFS, such a blank cheque was not a wise move.
