He left in a storm of controversy about a past relationship with another Intel employee, and was ultimately replaced by then-Chief Financial Officer Bob Swan. <\/p>\n<p><strong>From 2019: By choosing Bob Swan, Intel has put the bean counters in charge of  Silicon Valley\u2019s most storied tech company <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the time, Gelsinger\u2019s name surfaced as the perfect candidate to return to Intel, having been outside the company for awhile, one who would also combine past insider knowledge, but he said then he was not interested in the job.<\/p>\n<p>Gelsinger is now arriving at the right time. Intel needed Swan to clean up the mess created by Krzanich, and now it needs Gelsinger to establish a new path. <\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Krzanich] broke so much stuff, Intel went from having a two-year tech lead to being behind three years,\u201d Enderle said. He said the situation is similar to what the U.S. is going through right now, transitioning to President-elect Biden, a previous vice president and senator \u201cwho understands the plumbing of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGelsinger is like a top race car driver, and Bob Swan was like the mechanic,\u201d he said. \u201cThey needed Swan to fix the plumbing, get the company operating again, and get a top driver to fix the rest.<strong>\u201c<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong>See also: Biden inherits a tech Cold War with China after Trump ratcheted up the battle<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>He added that Krzanich also killed Intel\u2019s Developer Forum, (IDF),   a developer conference created by Gelsinger in his time there that was valuable for both getting input and creating a relationship with industry developers, a concept Nvidia has used to create support around its CUDA platform.<\/p>\n<p>When he was at Intel, Gelsinger was often referred to as \u201cthe boy wonder,\u201d because of his rise up in the ranks at a young age, where he impressed the tough and famously paranoid former Intel CEO Andy Grove.  Gelsinger\u2019s ties to Grove and earnest appreciation for his leadership should help improve morale at Intel, which has struggled under Swan, its first CEO who did not come from the Intel family. <\/p>\n<div data-layout=\"inline\n              \" data-layout-mobile=\"\" class=\"\n        media-object\n        type-InsetTweet\n          inline\n    scope-web|mobileapps\n  article__inset\n        article__inset--type-InsetTweet\n          article__inset--inline\n  \"><\/p>\n<div class=\"dynamic-inset-container article__inset__dynamic\">\n<style>\n            iframe.twitter-tweet {\n                width: 100% !important;\n            }\n        <\/style>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\"><p>\n            <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pgelsinger\/status\/1223682453669339136\"><\/a>\n            <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>       Now the big question is what will Gelsinger do about Intel\u2019s manufacturing situation. It is likely that, having been an old-school Intel executive, Gelsinger may lean toward expanding its current hybrid approach, keeping most of Intel\u2019s manufacturing in-house, but perhaps outsourcing more. But he will also have new ideas for changes, after being gone from the behemoth for so many years.  <\/p>\n<p>Caso put it bluntly.  \u201cGelsinger will not bring a magic bullet to work with him on Feb. 15,\u201d he wrote. \u201cWe consider Intel to be on a \u2018burning platform,\u2019 analogous to Nokia\u2019s position a decade ago. If Intel decides to fully outsource, they will never again possess transistor dominance, which will make it difficult to maintain their dominant share and margin structure. \u201d <\/p>\n<p><strong>Read: Regulating Big Tech will be hard, and California is proving it <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Brookwood of Insight64 said that another one of Gelsginer\u2019s important tasks will be to stop the drain of engineering talent from the company. \u201cIf Gelsinger can stop the loss of tech talent and restore people\u2019s confidence that Intel can be a tech leader again, I think that\u2019s all for the good,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what Gelsinger does, it is likely he will have greater support from the board and Intel employees than Swan. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo come back \u2018home\u2019 to Intel in the role of CEO during what is such a critical time for innovation, as we see the digitization of everything accelerating, will be the greatest honor of my career,\u201d Gelsinger said in his email. <\/p>\n<p>With his long history at Intel and his engineering credentials, employees will know that Gelsinger means it. After his own previous love-hate  relationship with the chip giant, Gelsinger appears to be the leader who can guide Intel out of the mess in which it currently resides. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Therese Poletti\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Therese_Poletti\"><\/span>Therese Poletti<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
