Intel Corp.’s next CEO will assume office next week, replacing the interim co-CEOs appointed months ago. At the Ojo-Yoshida Report, we welcome the appointment of Lip-Bu Tan, a semiconductor and EDA market veteran, as the new CEO.
We will be rooting for Mr. Tan. We also believe the rest of the industry should be cheering him on and assist in whichever way they can in his efforts to revitalize Intel. Tan has a formidable task ahead of him and he will need the support and goodwill of the entire industry. The support is critical not so that Intel can displace the competition but because the industry thrives best when the competitive environment is robust.
Tan can ensure that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC) remains competitive, reliable, and committed to developing the best process technologies and demand-supply management initiatives by making sure Intel Foundry Services (IFS) becomes the first-class contract chipmaker able to slug it out in the market toe-to-toe with the Taiwanese rival.
Here are our 5 Top suggestions for Lip-Bu Tan as he starts at Intel as CEO on Tuesday next week:
