Intel is still looking for a new CEO, but one candidate stands out to revive the casting business. A report from Bits & Chips said that following the GlobalFoundries leadership shakeup, the new arrangement has fueled speculation that resigning CEO Thomas Caulfield could take over in Intel or its Foundry Division.
On February 5th, US Foundry Giant Global Foundries appointed veteran Tim Breen as CEO, and Thomas Caulfield became executive chairman. The change will take effect on April 28, 2025, according to a press release.
In particular, Caulfield became GF’s president and CEO in 2018, and during his tenure he repositioned his technology portfolio to focus on differentiated essential chips, leading the company to sustainable profitability.
As highlighted in the Forbes report, the first time it has been 2019, even if it has no funds received from the Fab sale to semiconductors and Vanguard International Semiconductors from its sale. I made a profit.
GlobalFoundries was published on NASDAQ in October 2021 and raised approximately US$2.6 billion through IPO. Amidst the global chip shortage at the time, it became the largest US IPO on the Nasdaq in 2021 and the largest semiconductor IPO in its history.
However, Bits & Chips reports seem to be good at leading Intel Foundry, but his resume lacks clear experience in IC design with a background in materials science and engineering. I’m also paying attention to this.
Intel is at a critical time in manufacturing, and the future is based on the commercial success of its 18A and 14A nodes, but the next CEO will undoubtedly become a key leader leading it out of the fog. Intel has confirmed that the Panther Lake processor, which first utilizes Intel 18A process nodes, will debut in late 2025.
According to a previous Bloomberg report, the struggling giant prioritizes external candidates when searching for new CEOs. The potential candidates are said to include Marvell CEO Matt Murphy and former CEO Lip-Bu Tan, Cadence, by name, by several names.
