Intel’s mobile exec resigns

Anand Chandrasekher, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's ultra mobility group (UMG), has announced that he will be leaving the company to pursue other interests.

Mike Bell, vice president of Intel's Architecture Group (IAG) and Dave Whalen, vice president of IAG, will co-manage UMG, the team responsible for developing the technologies behind the Atom processor and Centrino Atom processor product ranges. "Intel remains committed to this business," said David Perlmutter, executive vice president and Intel Architecture Group general manager. "We continue to make the investments needed to ensure that the best user experience on smartphones and handhelds runs on Intel Architecture and to ship a phone this year."
