Leading Intel Executive Suffers Stroke
Intel has announced that one of the company top executives will take medical leave after suffering a stroke in his home.
Intel yesterday said that Sean Maloney, one of the top execs underneath the company's CEO, suffered a stroke. Mr Maloney is said to have an "excellent" chance of recovery and is expected to resume his duties within the company after a recuperation period of several months.
"I visited with Sean and his sense of humor and determination to return to work fill the room," said CEO Paul Otellini in a statement. "We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to his return."
The Guardian reports that London-born Maloney began work at Intel in 1982. The 53-year-old was handpicked to be an assistant to former Intel boss Andy Grove and is tipped to be Otellini's successor.
Dadi Perlmutter will temporarily fill Maloney's position as executive vice president and general manager at the Intel Architecture Group.

Hopefully while he's out the environment for grunts will improve at Intel Architecture...
Yeah the guys at tesla and now this.....
1)Eating lots rich grease food,alcohol,smoking import cigars or taking to many legal or not legal drug with the profits it stole from AMD.
2)Intel sales are down.
3)Reap want you sow.
We don't want to talk about insensitive when Intel played dirt.
I feel horrible for laughing at that...
I had a great-uncle that suffered a stroke, and after recovering the only word he could utter was "momeemomeemomee" over and over again when trying to communicate. I thought it was funny when I was ten years old, but dear god I hope that never happens to me. Best recovery to Mr. Intel.
I second dirtman on this one. I laughed...hard. At least the poor guy is expected to be A-OK in a few months. My girlfriend is getting a masters in speech pathology, meaning she deals with a lot of stroke victims, which in turn scares the ever-loving-shit out of me.
I do hope he gets better with a quickness.
Yup. This site has so many fanboys, trolls, and spammers it's not funny any more.
