Intel CEO B. Krzanich due to personal factors forced to step down, finance long Swan CEO position, become the hottest semiconductor circle topic. Strict organizational discipline, such as Intel, B. Krzanich can say that this step down can be said to be removed by Intel, and to the world public, the face is not very glorious. This year the semiconductor circle can be said to be frequent, several chip manufacturers have replaced the manager. Including Intel CEO B. Krzanich, who is actively promoting the Intel Elephant Transformation Resource Center in his tenure, and developing a high profile of Intel's external foundry business, establishing a foundry industry, and actively cooperating with the Chinese IC chip manufacturer's purple-violet exhibition, and, at the same time, releasing its 10 nanometer wafer manufacturing in China, Shows Intel's ambitions for China's layout and for a wafer-and-grab-for-work map. What changes will be expected from the future new CEO to the entire Intel Strategic plan and the global semiconductor landscape is worth observing. Samsung, who has taken Intel's global leadership, is also the Mr Lee heir, after officially released from prison, to carry out intensive overseas trips, including to China and the Hong Kong region, to reorganize Samsung's overseas layout and supply chain business. It is noteworthy that, also at this time, Samsung high-profile election in Shanghai, China held its first wafer Foundry forum (SFF), which is also the founding of Samsung Wafer Foundry business, the first time in China to publicly declare its foundry strategy and customer partner planning. On the other hand, in addition to Intel and Samsung, Wafer foundry leader TSMC Chairman TSMC also formally retired, by the second generation of two CEOs jointly led the TSMC, this is the second time TSMC's CEO, the last was by TSMC to Mr Tsai, but the final return, to resume the appointment of CAI. The outside world thinks, this time the TSMC should belong to stabilize, but the new connecting rod can have Zhang's boldness and executive power, continue to drive the future growth of TSMC, outside still wait and see. MINGTU tortuous GlobalFoundries This year is also change handsome, the original CEO Sanjay Jha was said to leave (step down), outside interpretation, if not his initiative resign, is fired. And looking back on the past GF in the past less than 10 years between the 4 CEO, the new CEO Tom Caulfield, immediately ushered in the investigation of investors, intent to repair and investors more closely, for years of loss of GF, the intention is not to say. This year the semiconductor industry also has a substitution legend, the former Qualcomm chairman Paul Jacobs was dismissed in March, he is planning a privatisation Qualcomm plan, has been out of his intention to buy Qualcomm.
