Intel CEO Brian Krzanich, who has been in intimate contact with internal staff, was forced to flash Intel's chief executive and quit the board, a news shock to the industry, which also became Intel's Meldown and Spectre chip security vulnerabilities in early 2018, By the end of April, the 3rd major challenge for Intel in 2018 has been to announce the extension of the 10-nanometer production process to 2019. While Intel is in the lead market for PC and server processors, as well as new open artificial intelligence (AI), 5G Networking and graphics chips (GPU) and other areas, is facing Nvidia, AMD and Qualcomm (QUALCOMM) and other strong competition, But market participants seem to have some confidence in the future CEO leading Intel, so in the post-Krzanich era, whether the new CEO will be able to master the Krzanich era left by Intel, based on the Intel front to withstand Qualcomm, Nvidia and AMD on the move, it is worth watching . According to MarketWatch, GeekWire and the street, a handful of early Krzanich in the Silicon Valley that supported US President Trump (Donald Trump), after 5 years of failing to enter the mobile chip market, While revenue and profitability continue to grow, the leading PC and server processor markets are on the rise of AMD's Ryzen and EPYC processor families with Zen architecture. In recent years and faced with the rise of rising nvidia, the rapid growth of machine learning (ML) and AI operations leading chip manufacturers, which Intel seems helpless; Coupled with the success of Qualcomm's mobile chipset to enter the PC processor market to create new product categories, to a more optimized battery endurance, networking performance, such as grabbing the Intel PC market accounted for Intel on the product front of the strong opponents. But under the leadership of Krzanich, Intel has also sought to fight back on various fronts in recent quarters, such as the introduction of newer High-performance processors responding to AMD's counter-offensive, the move into the 5G wireless networking market to respond to Qualcomm, and a number of AI chip-related vendor acquisitions and hunting moves that appear to be a response to Nvidia's rise in this regard. Today's Krzanich, which means that both engineering and product team resources Krzanich on all fronts, may have different distribution results depending on the background and judgment of the new CEO. On the processor side, AMD's stress is becoming a headache for Intel, as Krzanich hinted that Intel, under its existing product planning blueprint, is afraid to cede up to 20% data center markets to AMD, even in the consumer PC market, where Amdryzen chips have been able to grab most of their own-assembled PC markets and is favored by PC OEMs such as HP (HP) and Dell (Dell). Based on further media analysis, Intel's new CEO will have to understand the rapid change in consumer demand and data centers, avoid more market share losses, and must be more in place for larger-scale PC-related investments. In wafer fabrication, Intel's past advantages are being lost as the Intel 10 Nano process continues to be delayed and the electronics, Samsung Electronics and GlobalFoundries continue to lay 7 nanometers, It is also a business that the new CEO must regroup. If Intel's new CEO can have a product and architecture background, will help Intel establish a new paradigm for manufacturing technology and product independence, which means that Intel engineers are able to better plan and predict the future design of the product planning and performance in the two separate departments. Ai layout, even though Intel is still behind Nvidia, Intel is looking for ways to improve the company's ability to address growing data centers and end-user workloads, such as the AI chip company Nervana from the acquisition of Movidius in 2017, This can be configured for the Xeon Processor software development resources, and even to the AMD to dig horns to Raja Koduri help build the GPU. As a result, any new Intel CEO will have to understand the importance of AI leadership to speed up the multi-pronged approach that Intel has begun to develop. Koduri and Nervana founder Naveen Rao joined Intel, Intel's new CEO should also provide more resources, funds and engineering resources in the AI and other related departments to ensure that this area will not always lag behind Nvidia's development. As for the more sensitive issue of chip security, Intel's new CEO can also play the role of Intel's vibration to move Intel into the lead in the field of chip security, or to scrub meldown and spectre stains. Although it is currently a temporary Krzanich position by Intel finance chief Robert Swan, it does not rule out that Intel may be able to extend the hands of talent to outsiders to carry out the growth bit. It is believed that if the outside, the most likely to find the candidate first for VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger, Gelsinger previously served in Intel for 30 years, to assume multiple positions;
