Ryzen Architect Jim Keller Joins Intel
Jim Keller, the VLSI guru who led the team behind AMD's spectacular comeback in the x86 processor market with "Zen," has reportedly quit his job at Tesla to join AMD's bête noire, Intel. Following his work on "Zen," Keller had joined Tesla to work on self-driving car hardware. Keller joins Raja Koduri at Intel, the other big former-AMD name, who led Radeon Technologies Group (RTG).
PC Perspective comments that big names like Keller and Koduri joining Intel could provide clues as to Intel's current state and the direction it's heading in. The company appears to be in a state of shake-up from a decade of complacency and lethargy in its core business. Koduri could be putting together a team of people familiar to him for a new clean-slate project. The last time Intel had a clean slate was ten years ago, with "Nehalem."

Also did Jim work at VLSI? It just mixes up with the company name. I've read it and misunderstood immediately also.
sorry
Jim Ramsay visits a chipmaker that lost touch with his customers!
"Oi! come here, you been serving this chip? pffftt... for how long have you been making this?
7 years? bloody hell! F$%k me..."
"This paste you put here, what is that?! its a bland hot mess. You tell me you put this on a 2000$ chip? You donkey!"

Just misleading.
This is part of the reason why every little shit gets patented, so if someone goes to your competitor, they can't just implement the same.
In other news, talented guys gets new interesting job. I hate him :D
Edit: It's also a bit disingenuous calling him "Ryzen architect". He's done so many other revolutionary (for lack of a better word) things before Zen.
Maybe he joins Raja or works on some AI chip or something.
