Wow... this is going to be interesting. Maybe we'll see a slight course change for the new i7/i9 chips roadmap? :D

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich (who has been with Intel for 36 years and helped shape what Intel is today), CEO since 2013, has resigned after the company learned of a "past consensual relationship with an Intel employee." :roll:

Look, I'm totally onboard with the #metoo movement and making the workplace a fair and safe environment for all to work, but a consensual relationship?! Meh...

I think that’s only the tip of the iceberg. There’s more to the story behind the scenes which they didn’t want coming out. For example you can be deceived into a consensual relation.

True, true. And their point (from a Human Resources department perspective) is that Intel has a strict "non-fraternization policy, which applies to all managers". So... there's that.

Their strategy is still to “transform Intel from a PC company to a company that powers the cloud and billions of smart, connected computing devices.” Meh... I just want cheaper desktop CPU's and MOOOAAAAAR COREZ!!! :D :lol:

Google, and now Intel. AMD was smart to have a CEO not like Google and Intel.

Apple must've had some foresight, hence switching to their own chips :lol:

He was also at the helm during the Specter & Meltdown debacle. Not to mention the insider trading he didn't get investigated for. Something tells me they were looking for a reason to put some distance between themselves before the SEC drops the hammer. This was just a good excuse.
