In an email today, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich announced changes to the company's leadership team: "Today I'm writing to share two important leadership transitions on our executive leadership team. Diane Bryant has made the difficult decision to take a leave of absence from Intel to tend to a personal family matter. She is stepping away for the next six to eight months. Given the extended duration, an interim leader for the Data Center Group (DCG) is not possible. As a result, I have asked Navin Shenoy to take the position of general manager of DCG.

DCG is a central part of our transformation and corporate strategy to make Intel the driving force of the data revolution. Over the past five years, Diane has transformed DCG from a server-centric group to a business that spans servers, network and storage across all end-user segments, and with product lines and business models that extend beyond the traditional. DCG's leading products and strategies - driving industry transformations' to pervasive cloud computing, virtualization of network infrastructure, and adoption of artificial intelligence solutions - have positioned the business to be the growth driver for Intel. I want to thank Diane for her outstanding leadership and I will announce her next role upon her return.

Navin will now report to me in this role. Since joining Intel in 1995, Navin has held leadership roles in the CEO's office, sales and marketing, and the PC and tablet businesses. Most recently, as general manager of the Client Computing Group (CCG), he was responsible for the P&L, strategy and product development. Information about the succession plan for Navin as the general manager of CCG will be provided over the coming weeks. In the interim, Murthy Renduchintala will be CCG's acting leader.

Navin and Diane have been instrumental to Intel's success and our executive leadership team over the past few years. They will work closely together for the next month to ensure a smooth transition for the organization and our customers.

Management changes can be distracting, but it is critical that we all give Navin, Diane and the CCG leadership team our full support during this transition and focus on delivering leadership products and executing flawlessly. And, it goes without saying that my thoughts are with Diane. I look forward to welcoming her back to her next challenging role."

Intel has been attempting to move away from the pc business for a while now, they appear serious this time. You'd have to imagine datacenters being a big part of their future path seeing how poorly they compete in the mobile market. (phones, tablets, internet of things etc)

that might be why AMD decided to re-launch a more serious cpu at this point in time. If intel wants to fade out of that market someone needs to provide for those of us who still want/need them.

datacenters can chew up alot of chips, it just doesn't seem anywhere near what consumer markets can do though. I'm curious what other paths intel will be taking going forward. The company itself will be fine, just as IBM was when it left the pc business. But what will they be doing?

Maybe Intel should change the strategy Idiot(s) that are deciding that they should release CPUs with max 5% performance increase every year. Now that would be something.

DCG is already their biggest chunk of profits, is also their most consistent revenue/profit growing avenue. What they'll likely do next is move away (completely?) from misadventures, or unmitigated disasters like the atom in the near future. They really have to, because if the AMD, ARM or IBM server threat is real then they're not in a position to do a conroe (minus the OEM payoffs) type of revival anytime soon. However as many others have said repeatedly, Intel's expiry date is not in sight anytime in the near future.

you do realize this is exactly what automakers do and they're doing just fine. At the height of the PC Intel could have easily released a 5% performance increase year over year without any backlash from the market. Now that the nature of the PC is changing and they missed the boat on the mobility platforms they have to consider what Intel looks like going forward. The 7700K vs 6700K vs 4790K doesn't really affect the longterm outcome. It's such a tiny fraction of the market.

Intel has been in the storage market for some time and usually are at the forefront on the new tech developments related to that. The trouble for them is (as I've told our intel rep several times) is that Intel storage is so expensive and not near the fastest that I have a hard time seeing any value in the line. Not when I can get 2 or 3 crucial drives for the same price that will last over 5 years each. Can they become competitive with samsung and crucial? Likely, its Intel. Will they, and do they think this market is part of their future portfolio? Not sure.

The Intel Nuc is a great little machine platform. 2 drives, up to 32GB memory, most models have 4 threads, etc. But for me, shuttle kindly took that base platform and made it to what I needed it to be. Dual nic, 6-8 usb, completely fanless and with ssd's has no moving parts whatsoever. All while undercutting our Intel directly indirect (you have to be a partner to buy direct, we put the order in with a facilitator and then deal with the manufacturer directly after that) pricing.

For severs sure there's no way I'd buy anything else as I'm not completley changing my platform trying to chase mythic cost savings by switching to arm. Even if the hardware is cheaper the developer time for the switch and the cost of bringing in new experts completely wipes out any cost savings.

But where else is Intel going? Are they moving in AI? Driverless cars? Consumer metrics? I don't see a clear direction for the company right now. Their bread and butter is drying up and they have their toes in many things, but no feet yet.
