Wie erwartet wurde Paul Otellini zum neuen CEO (Chief Executive Officer) des Chipgiganten [url=http://www.intel.de]Intel[/url] gewählt. Sein Vorgänger Craig Barrett wird zum Chairman. Die Ablösung wird am 18. Mai 2005 stattfinden, doch bereits jetzt beginnen beide mit der Zusammenarbeit, um das seit einigen Quartalen durch Hardware-Fehler und Produktverschiebungen geplagte Unternehmen wieder auf Kurs zu bringen."Craig and Paul are the right team at the right time for Intel," said Grove. "We're exceptionally fortunate to have them at the helm. (...) Having worked closely with Craig and Paul for over 30 years, I know that Paul's vitality and deep knowledge of Intel's products, customers and global markets, together with Craig's stature as an industry leader and pre-eminent technologist, make them outstanding choices to lead Intel and the board as the company drives its core silicon expertise further in computing and communications."
