That we know of, anyway. Jim Keller only just left a few months ago so who knows what’s in the architectural pipeline for the next decade.

You talking about his Intel stint which was cut short for "personal" reasons ???. Afaik he is not a chip architect anymore - more of organizing engineering teams to perform to their best ability and asking the right questions. The AMD guy who designed Zen architecture was also responsible for the ill-fated Bulldozer design.

    Rude ???. Clearly a lame PR explanation considering his high profile stature at Intel (he is going to save us) and the suddenness of it all. https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/311664-intels-jim-keller-leaves-the-company-for-personal-reasons https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/311664-intels-jim-keller... I see they used single quotes .. my bad.

      Family, health, there is lots that can happen in life, where work is no longer a priority. Just because it's a common euphemism for something more, doesn't mean it has the be so in this case. Given his great track record, something bad probably happened in his life.

        > Given his great track record, something bad probably happened in his life. I think the implication in the parent comment is that things were so bad at intel that he couldn't fix and chose to leave instead. Whether that's true or not I don't know. But the rumours I've read are not good.

      It couldn’t possibly be Jim Keller left on his own accord and that Intel is doing damage control, right? Murthy’s head rolled for picking fights internally, particularly with Raja. Is it such a stretch that Keller wouldn’t want to deal with Intel’s political infighting bullshit and live out his days with family? He’s an accomplished guy and has earned every right to retire or work where he wants to. You still haven’t explained what was so suspicious about him leaving.
