BK and his team weren't even taking obvious decisions. MR is an improvement at least from that point.
"MR has steered the ship well" ... What?! He has only done the obvious so far. He hasnt had any real impact attributable to any novel ideas since he arrived. Every action being taken now is 1-2 years late, all on his watch.
Do you remember the RCG from BK bum? He wanted to replace BK... Now he has a chance. 😀
After BK an empty seat at the table and headless is actually a step up from wrong direction to now no direction. The titanic is going down without a captain at all, much easier for the BoD to explain and keep their job and options collection going
MR is a disaster to the company!!
No rush, no CEO is far better than a wrong one.
BK was fired on june 21st. Our inept board has now taken almost three months to find a replacement when it took the action to fire him without apparently a replacement in mind. No surprise that wall street sees us as irrelevant. Bryant / what else do you and the board have to do but find a ceo?
MR is hired as “acting” CEO, he will be announced as Intel CEO shortly since he is “perfect match to Intel”
he would merely complete the chain of corruption all the way from top to bottom
then the bottom would fall out of the stock price
If MR becomes CEO, intel will fall in acouple of years, all his accomplishments are not even close to what we expected. Being honest I would prefer anyone from outside.
The BoD Chairman is a dinosaur who has zero interest in technology, seems continously surprised at CEO transitions, and is delided in thinking he still adds any value at Intel when the opposite is true. Even dur9ng employee all hands meetings he shows up with white !980s stule converse shoes, seriously, wtf, he is so out of touch that he has even failed to see the shifting scale dynamics from Intel to TSMC. AB, if you see this, please, just leave.
@V9tg24J-2ymu Anyone with any clue could have made that proposal, what is sad is a longtime insider simply can’t make such and obvious proposal says how poisoned and dysfunctional the culture is at Intel.
Sadly the names being tossed around for CEO aren’t the best candidates and that is how sad the situation is. The BoD has really failed in the most important job of stewardship of company but again look at the makeup of the BoD and Chairman and there shouldn’t be any surprises. There have been multiple articles about how AB needs to go, should have gone a decade ago actually.
MR is making Intel is not held hostage to fortunes of TMG. That's the best thing he has done for Intel so far. Considering that Intel needs to design for 10nm and also have a design for 14nm as a backup and then also a design for TSMC for overflow demand, MR is steering the ship well!
id--t BK was going after his stupid,silly and maverick ideas never bothering about product roadmap. MR brought some sense back and predictability to the roadmap. Ask the OEMs how much the product slippages were costing them. MR may not be the best option but is 1000 times better than BK.
You refer to the Board right? Forbes had article while back regarding the “right” mix and how critical it is to a/the company. Look at this companies Board, the players, as well as what happened @ 8ch pea? Remember the “pre-texting” fiasco? The scandals? The disfunctionality? A great or good company can change for the worse at the drop of a dime! Corporate greed, and poor choices via a board can destroy a well oiled machine!

Renée James and Anand on the list. They left Intel and now they are candidates for CEO?
Lol that SemiWiki can't let go of GloFo can it, it has the 7nm abandoning as a win. Hilarious. Agree with the other pieces though.
The process that selected and disposed of BK is selecting the next CEO, the outcome is assured to have equally stunning result
“For losers I would start with Intel. 10nm is still in question and even more loserish is the way they disposed of their CEO who spent his entire career at Intel. I cannot believe a Silicon Valley icon like Intel would do such a despicable thing to a 36 year veteran. Clearly it was sleight of hand, waving one hand so you do not see what the other is doing, or not doing in this case. Replacing a questionable CEO with a temp CEO who has publicly declared he does not want to be CEO while you spend months looking for a new CEO? The big question I have is: Why is the Intel Board of Directors NOT being held accountable for this blunder? Correct me if I’m wrong here but this does not pass the corporate smell test.”

And this guy could not even get his lines straight in the DB sponsored April Fool's skit!
we can't have a CEO who sweats profusely on camera and could die at any minute from obesity. On top of that, he's not technically or mentally competent enough to fill that role. His tenure thus far at Intel proves that.
Why even have a CEO? The CFO and COO knows more than any over paid puppet figure! Right?
CEO MR would actually make BK the clown look like a genius.
MR was recruited by BK to make sure that there would be no appropriate successors
MR is the perfect candidate. With his acute obesity I give him 1 year at best. He will be exposed for the fraud that he is and the board that elected him will be exposed for the bunch of nincompoops that they are.
What does MR achieved so far...nothing working out but he still thinks he achieved so much. Let Intel down fall start with this guy...
As there are no ground beaking new products there is no need for any ceo. The machine can run without the driver.
If that happens, you'll be wishing for the return of the clown in no time.
Amazing that MR name is in the hat at all, if he was at his prior employer he wouldn’t even make the top ten candidates. That very fact shows how far the executive team was destroyed by the clown and how sorry the BoD was to let it happen.
Revenue may be at an all time high and fabs full, but the fall will indeed be spectacular for this FUBAR company
This position is soon tainted that nobody wants it!
Whoever becomes next CEO, Intel will announce as “well qualified” or “well deserved promotion”. Intel has been dragged so low or BOD not able distinguish good vs bad?
if he does become the next CEO it's because no truly qualified person wanted the position and MR was a last resort. This is true if anyone internal to Intel becomes the next CEO. I'm pretty sure most ppl w/ agree on this.
