Pat Gelsinger hasn’t gone back to the top of Intel for just a year, but he’s stressed that he’s going to need another four to raise Intel back up after years of missteps. The company called the semiconductor giant, Gelsinger says, is looking at this kind of work every five years. According to the Wall Street Journal (via Seeking Alpha), Gelsinger’s determination to give the company the company a backward whirl back to life, as well as saying that there isn’t a point formula for a first-hand acquisition that will take Intel back to the top. “If you plan on measuring me monthly, I am failing,” Gelsinger says. If you want to measure me both by two or three years of turning around an iconic company, that’s what I want to be measured against. For the first time in his career as CEO of Intel since his short stint at VMware, Gelsinger has been doing a lot of work already. Under his hand, Intel set out plans back in March to create its own contract foundry business to rival TSMC. By investing $100 billion in its fabs, Intel could quickly end up in a position to offer its rivals fab space. Friendliest chair for the gaming world: the best chair for the gaming. Poker games are pinning the ultimate podiums. The best controller: sit back, relax and play. Even with the advent of supply chain complications, Gelsinger assured the government that Intel was “even more quickly” on rivals. As Gelsinger pointed out, it isn’t going to happen overnight, but in a few years, we’ll be able to see all the plan coming in the way. Indeed, we could even see AMD CPUs and Nvidia GPUs being manufactured by Intel one day, but for now, Gelsinger’s plans are pretty good. But it’s a little too big.
