Intel’s new business areas are the two previously introduced. The Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics group focuses on high-performance computing and graphics, while the Software & Advanced Technology group promotes Intel’s unified vision for software.
Raja M. Koduri, Intel’s Vice President and Executioner of the GPU Strategy, will take over as Head of Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics Group Greg Lavender, who served as CTO and Senior Vice President at VMware, will take over as Head of Software & Advanced Technologies Group. It was announced that Lavender, who was at VMware at the same time as Gelsinger, would also serve as CTO and Senior Vice President at Intel.
Intel also reorganized its data platform group and split it into the Datacenter and AI Group and the Network and Edge Group. Sandra L. Rivera, the former chief human resources officer, will lead the Data Center & AI Group, which is in charge of chip Xeon for data centers, and the head of Network & Edge Group, which is in charge of network platforms and Internet of Things, is an electrician at Stanford University. Nick McKeown, a former professor of engineering and computer science, will take over.
Meanwhile, Navin Shenoy, who has served as the head of the Data Platform Group so far, will leave Intel on July 6, after 26 years of service. Gelsinger said he will sharpen Intel’s focus and execution and accelerate innovation by putting decades of expertise at the forefront of what matters most. Related information can be found here.
