Shouldn't they also be held responsible for all the mess of recent years? From picking BK to ACT to shaky business strategies to 10nm disaster to MCM turmoil to today's sad news. Is it really necessary to force BK out in such a disgrace? If this is the only way to replace him in time with a new CEO for damage control, wouldn't it be better to Intel's image by just saying "BK resigned for some personal reason"? I strongly doubt the judgement and directing capability of this BoD.

Just to note, 6 of the 9 BOD slots were filled post-ACT. There's a bit of a learning curve for everyone to come together. Agreed that AB has to go, but the BOD may have actually been more involved here than we are generally thinking.
No it'd just make it look like Intel's hiding another scandal
The Board can only be held accountable by major shareholders or activist investors; otherwise the Board runs the show. Intel's Board is very weak as noted by aas in the previous post.
AB should step down. If you attended today's open forum, he looked sloppy on screen. Steve Jobs was right, "A players hire A players. B players hire C players". There are not that many A players, and as a company grows older, some A players decayed to B players. That's the source of all evil. That's the problem of Intel today.
Direct reflection of Andy and BoD, look at the make up of the board compared to Samsung or TSMC, any questions ?
