Anand Chandrasekher Intel leaves for "other interests". Intel employee since 1988, he oversaw the launch of the Pentium 4 range in the 1990s as vice chairman of the Architecture Group - not necessarily the best business card. He met with more success 5 years ago as senior vice president of Intel's Ultra Mobility Group: is this unit, responsible for low-power Intel architecture, which gave birth to the Atom.
Chandrasekher's departure could also be seen as a repudiation of his superiors over the difficulties experienced by Intel to gain a foothold in the market for products such as Ultra Mobile smartphones and tablet (flop Moorestown, virtually abandoned by Nokia MeeGo ). Intel's release also is quick to emphasize the objectives of the founder in this market: "We continue to make the investments necessary to ensure the best user experience on the smartphone is provided by an Intel architecture, and deliver a phone this year.
"We're curious to see in what Mr. Chandrasekher Intel competitor to replace.
