In an unexpected turn of events, Kevin O'Buckley, the head of Intel Foundry, decided to jump ship for Qualcomm after just two years at the company. From now on, Intel Foundry will be headed by Naga Chandrasekaran, who was previously in charge of front-end process technology development and manufacturing.
"We thank Kevin O'Buckley for his contributions to Foundry Services and wish him the very best as he pursues an opportunity outside the company," an Intel spokesperson told Tom's Hardware. "Intel Foundry remains one of Intel's highest strategic priorities, and under Naga Chandrasekaran's leadership the organization is focused on disciplined execution and delivering for customers."
