I wonder what exactly Jim did during his last stint at Intel? An older article said...
> As far as we understand, Jim’s goal inside Intel was to streamline a lot of the product development process on the silicon side, as well as providing strategic platforms though which future products can be developed and optimized to market. We also believe that Jim Keller has had a hand in looking at Intel’s manufacturing processes, as well as a number of future products.

Did he fail at whatever he attempted to do or did Intel fail him? I would guess the latter.
