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?

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
