Former Intel CEO Brian Krzanich was recently hired to lead at Cerence Inc., an automotive AI technology company based in Burlington, MA. However, Cerence's celebratory statements concerning its new CEO, shared via social media, have quickly turned sour as comments pour scorn on the firm's top-exec hiring decision.

I believe he was driving the Intel bus when they bought Altera, and then had the outrageous idea to have annual licensing to use the pre-canned programming images for the FPGAs. That caused Xilinx stock to go up! D'oh!

Is this the guy who had an affair?

Krzanich is probably not the best hire, but the guy from Apple can cram it. His company is the world's largest user of full blown human sl@ve labor, and his company's success (and indirectly, his own) is almost entirely due to that. Keep it to yourself homie.

Apple sure are Greedy bastards, but you have to admit, now that Intel is also on the same TSMC process, they now have the better engineers. Krzanich really screwed up by cutting R&D to do stock buybacks and was the leader of the 4-core AND 14++++++++++++nm stagnation generations.

$52B to $70B over five years? Sounds great on paper but without context, it's nothing. Much of that is just riding the natural growth in technology over those years, along with AMD happening to unfortunately fail pretty hard on Bulldozer.

Anyone remember how little performance was gained from a Core i5-2500K to a -7500K? And Kaby Lake started the refreshes as it was basically a Skylake Refresh, so Kaby Lake Refresh was a Skylake Refresh Refresh. "8th gen" could be a Kaby Lake-R or a Whiskey Lake CPU depending on the model, e.g. i5-8250U was KBR while i5-8265U was WL. Yes, that all revolved around Intel 10nm (now Intel 7) taking several extra years to materialize.

Slight tangent: I don't know if Intel realizes this but the danger of letting go of that much talent means that many of those folks will go to the competitors, especially AMD.

Very funny though to hear an Apple employee go that berserk. Too bad he doesn't given enough f's about a healthy, competitive PC ecosystem.

it is perhaps ironic that Intel didn't fire Krzanich due to his management performance. Instead, he was allowed to resign after a workplace relationship was uncovered—a violation of company policy.

That's how it always is, at the executive level. You don't get fired unless you do something criminal. Otherwise, you're always allowed to resign. Worse yet, the announcement usually includes some amount of praise.

The article mentions he used to work at Intel Labs. I can't really blame him, if Apple is the next best opportunity he found.

Oh, of course they do! They know which side of the toast has the butter on it.

It's not his company, he's just a lowly engineer that got laid off from Intel when they did stock buy backs.
He wouldn't even be working at Apple had Intel not fired him. It is highly unlikely he has any control over which factories get the contracts.

Tim Cook is the actual guy in charge of Apple, easy mistake, I know.
