The board determined Gelsinger’s ambitious roadmap to restore Intel’s leadership in semiconductor manufacturing was not yielding sufficient progress. Gelsinger was given the option to retire or be removed and chose to step down.
Two interim co-CEOs have been appointed as the company searches for a permanent successor.
Under Gelsinger’s tenure, Intel lost further ground to competitors like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) and Nvidia, which now commands over 30 times Intel’s market value.
Despite high hopes for revitalizing AI and manufacturing capabilities, Intel struggled to deliver on its commitments, Reuters reported.
