Intel Announces Retirement of CEO Pat Gelsinger
David Zinsner and Michelle Johnston Holthaus named interim Co-CEOs. Holthaus also appointed to the newly created position of CEO of Intel Products. Frank Yeary named interim executive chair.
Dr. Ian Cutress/TechtechPotato is also currently doing a live stream discussing this news on youtube, if someone wants the opinion of an industry expert.
I guess it was highly likely, but this reuters article seems to confirm that he was forced out by the board.
I was away just for a few days.
I come back and this happens. I am not surprised Gelsinger was kicked out.

The enthusiasm to turn the ship around when Gelsinger rejoined certainly has dissipated, but considering the important milestones (especially 18A) are still on the horizon it seems hard to judge how successful he was.
But unless they have a good replacement lined up relatively soon, having a finance and marketing duo as replacement doesn't seem like an upgrade.
