Intel Smart Logic: maintain operational and manufacturing advantages

Blaine Clannick, Intel's new chief executive, Tencent Science and Technology (snow) Beijing time May 3 News, foreign media recently published an article said, Intel appointed chief Operating Officer Blaine Clannick as the new chief executive's move that the company will continue to go down the current road, Try to capitalize on a promise to lure device makers, Intel's manufacturing edge will still overwhelm its rivals over the next few years. The following is the full text of the article: Historically, Intel has been able to handle changes in its own management with precision enough to match the company's ability to produce complex transistors, but this time it was not: Paul Otellini, the former chief executive, Otellini, who announced plans to retire last November, has been faced with difficulties in finding a successor. Over time, Intel shifted to multiple committees and consultancies seeking guidance, but failed to make much headway. In Thursday, Intel finally announced the appointment of Brian Krzanich, who has been in the company for 30 years, as the new chief executive, after Blaine Clannick as chief operating officer. Intel stressed that Clannick's recent responsibilities include managing its chip manufacturing plant, which is critical to Intel's expansion of its business from the PC and server markets to mobile devices. Intel has one to two generations of leading advantage over rival manufacturing technology, and the company has been betting that this advantage will bring cutting-edge chips that mobile device makers cannot ignore. For Intel, therefore, the appointment of Clannick's chief executive (who will take office on May 16) is a "safe" option. Like his predecessor, Clannick is also a corporate person (employees loyal to the company's assets over colleagues), and is deeply influenced by Intel's tradition, but unlike the incoming President Rennie James (Renée James) and chief financial Officer Stassy Smith (Stacy Smith), Previously Clannick never spent much time in front of investors or the media. Perhaps it was because he lacked the "gorgeous appearance" of the shock that investors were disappointed by Intel's announcement, leading to a slight plunge in its share price. It also suggests that many people would have wanted Intel to hire an outsider to take over the company, and that outsiders should have some new ideas and strategies. In a way, Intel has been through a "lost decade", during which time the company has been trying to break into the mobile device business, but until now it has been able to start producing low-power chips that are likely to be considered by smartphone makers in mass market products. Worse still, the x86 architecture of Intel's chips is quite different from the chips found in most smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices, which use the ARM architecture from the UK. This means that Intel must convinceSoftware vendors and application developers redo the work they've done. Hiring a 52-year-old Clannick-head executive means Intel will continue to follow the current path, trying to capitalize on a promise to lure device makers that Intel's manufacturing edge will still overwhelm its rivals over the next few years. What Otellini has left for Clannick is that he has led intel through a massive antitrust "war", as a result of which the war has done little damage to the company's balance sheet, and has led Intel to defeat AMD, which briefly recovered And to keep the PC chip business booming while expanding Intel's High-margin server chip business. But, more than once, Otellini missed the mobile business, and in some ways was caught off-guard by the rise of the tablet. Some of the other major initiatives taken by Otellini are still being implemented. In recent years, Intel has acquired a range of software vendors, including 7.6 billion of dollars to acquire McAfee, the US security software vendor, and to use these assets to maintain its chip business status. But the move has already brought doom to Intel, and the long-term strategy behind it is unclear. More importantly, from the status quo, Otellini failed to extend Intel's tentacles beyond the PC and server realms. The future history may prove that Otellini is right, but for now, Intel needs to Clannick to do something to make this "history" possible.
