Dunno, inappropriate relationships (especially when combined with "me too") are right now a complete career suicide/murder. Incompetent CEOs have a higher chance of ending up as CEOs somewhere else; Brian was also CEO of a long-time #1, so there are quite a few achievements under his belt. Without his demos I personally wouldn't be running multiple NUCs and having Intel Jimmy walking/talking at home. I am more worried that the type of ousting (past inappropriate relationship, i.e. likely a few years back) signalizes a new level of sociopathy at the top, bringing a ruthless dark age to Intel, full of internal dissection and agony. I assume the investors/shareholders that had Intel as one of their crown jewels and golden geese are getting very nervous about losing profit and are throwing away any resemblance of humanness, acting as spoiled children, grabbing whatever they could.
