Gelsinger leaves Intel after reshuffle

Pat Gelsinger, pictured, general manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group, is to leave Intel as part of a raft of organisational changes. The moves are said to align the company around its core competencies: the Intel Architecture and its manufacturing skills.

All major product divisions will be consolidated into the Intel Architecture Group (IAG), which will be co-managed by Sean Maloney and Dadi Perlmutter. Maloney will be responsible for business and operations, while Perlmutter will lead product development and architecture. Alongside businesses based on the Intel architecture, the development and marketing teams will also report to the newly appointed pair. Intel's global manufacturing organisation, the Technology and Manufacturing Group (TMG), will now report to chief administrative officer Andy Bryant. Both moves are said to allow Intel ceo Paul Otellini to devote more of his time to corporate strategy and driving the company's growth initiatives. Six business groups will operate under the IAG umbrella: PC Client Group; Data Center Group; Visual Computing Group; Ultra Mobility Group; Embedded and Communications Group; and Digital Home Group.
