Jim Keller, a former senior vice president and lead silicon designer at Intel, has some thoughts about his former employer as there are rumors that the company is up for sale.
Keller worked at Intel from 2018 to 2020, and before that worked for Tesla leading the Autopilot hardware team. Before that, he was at Apple where his team designed the A4 and A5 chips used for iPhones and iPads. Keller spent most of his career at AMD designing the company's Zen processors in the 2010s and the Athlon processor in the '90s. He is the current CEO of Tenstorrent, a company developing AI processors.
