Intel Exec Pat Gelsinger Leaves for EMC
Reports today say Intel Executive Paul Gelsinger will leave the company amid a massive reorganization of management.
NYT today reports that changes in management at Intel will see senior vice president and co-general manager of the company's Digital Enterprise Group, Pat Gelsinger, depart following 30 years of service.
Despite being one of the longest-serving execs at Intel, what's interesting is not what he's leaving but what's he's leaving for. ComputerWorld reports that Gelsinger is heading for storage vendor EMC. An anonymous EMC spokesperson said that he would fill the position of president and chief operating officer for the company's information infrastructure product portfolio.
Sources also said that head of sales and marketing Sean Maloney is said to be taking on a larger role, taking control of all of Intel’s major chip businesses, including its PC, graphics and server chips.

i wonder/hope it was worth his 10 years of service.
I think the article said 30 years. Kind of sucks that Intel decided that 30 years of dedication weren't worth keeping around. But then, he now has the chance to run things, "his way". That sounds like a much better reason to move on to me.
Case in point: The banks were bailed out between Bush/Obama with about $200,000 per taxpayer. Now, they're still in deep shit, and so are the taxpayers. Since the majority of taxpayers DON'T ACTUALLY OWE $200,O00, had it just been given directly to us, we could've payed off all of our personal debt, and went out and bought a brand new American car, and otherwise stimulated the fuck out of the economy, but the fascists and their supporters(like Hellwig) feel that's wrong. Idiots.
So you are saying that Americans on average owe less than 200k and that the bank wasted >50k per taxpayer- leaving the taxpayers and banks still in deep sh1t? I don't buy that argument for some reason.
I don't know if you were against or for high CEO salaries, but it makes perfect sense to me to have high CEO salaries. Many CEOs gave up their entire lives in order to advance in the company. They may be rich... but they probably neglected their family and friends and thus don't have very good relations with them- that wouldn't be fun to deal with I'm guessing.
