Jim Keller really needs to introduction to followers of AMD and Intel, however, just in case you didn’t know he led AMD development of the K7 and K8 cpu’s as well as being the lead architect of the Zen architecture. After his stints at AMD his latest job was at Tesla to develop chips for their autonomous driving program. Now he moves to Intel and I bet they are hoping he works his magic there. I can’t wait to see what he produces with the resources Intel has to offer. The official twitter announcement is here.



EDIT: Intel has a newsroom post up now addressing this.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 26, 2018 – Intel today announced that Jim Keller will join Intel as a senior vice president. He will lead the company’s silicon engineering, which encompasses system-on-chip (SoC) development and integration.
