phead128 Always a good sign that Intel Foundry leadership is jumping ship. I guess 18A and 14A is doing great. Reply
moreslawplease Intel announced last year that Naga's job expanded to include the foundry services. It's right there on their press release page….not a secret. Reply

Kevin O'Buckley lead Intel Foundry for only 2 years…. Are you saying they pre-planned Kevin's departure even earlier like 1 year ago?

It's like a revolving door, keeps spinning faster, but all normal! Not saying that, just saying where he writes Naga will run the foundry "from now on" is not right. He was running it from last September or whenever. Reply

joeer77 That's a lot a work for Naga. Not sure that is a realistic job load for him. Reply
