Intel CTO Leitner is reluctant to leave: after formal retirement will be dismissals

Intel Chief Technology Officer Leitner will formally retire and be dismissals

Beijing Time June 29 news, according to foreign media reports, Intel Chief Technology (CTO) officer Justin Leitner (Rattner) will formally retire from the company, and then the company dismissals, but it is not clear what he will be in the future post.

Intel said in Thursday that Leitner was 65 years old this year, meeting the company's established executive retirement age. He will leave the company immediately and return to the company after finishing his family business, but the future position is not yet determined.

Leitner also holds the post of Vice president and director of the laboratory. Intel says those operations will be temporarily administered to Intel's newly appointed president, Renejams Renee James, until the company appoints new leaders.

The news, which Intel announced today, is somewhat surprising because Leitner held a research and development meeting in San Francisco in Tuesday, when he did not mention his retirement.

Like James, Leitner spent most of Intel's time in Oregon, not the company's Santa Clara headquarters in California. He joined Intel in 1973. Unlike other technical executives at the company, Leitner does not work on site-level jobs, such as semiconductor design or perfect product manufacturing processes.

Leitner has extensive experience in the field of High-performance computing. In the 八、九十年代 of the last century, he helped to promote the concept of "massively parallel" computers that were made from hundreds of standard processor chips rather than several custom computing engine modules. Intel also sold those systems on its own and later withdrew from those businesses, focusing on providing chips for those systems.

Leitner has made a huge contribution to Intel's development of a device known as "ASCII Red", which was installed in 1996 at the Sandy Countries Laboratory (Sandia National Laboratories). The mainframe was hailed as the first computer to provide 1 trillion scientific calculations per second.

Leitner became Intel's first CTO in 1979, often presiding over various meetings of the tech-oriented community, and he often spoke about many of the projects launched by Intel's research and Development center.

Leitner, for example, discussed a number of new concepts in Tuesday, such as the use of high-speed switching of car lights to eliminate the reflective light problems that users encounter when driving a car in a blizzard environment.

At another show, Leitner and his colleague Paul Craufford Paul Crawford discussed the concept of using wearable sensors that can judge a user's brain activity by measuring the speed of blood flow in the user's body, This tool may be used to determine whether the driver is distracted and poses a threat to the people around him.

Leitner's Tuesday presentation was less formal than his previous presentation at the Intel Developer Forum. "It took me months to prepare my speech," Leitner said. ”

In a statement, Intel chief Executive Blainco, Brian Krzanich, said he thanked Leitner for his company's contribution to the company's research and development business.
