Another resignation to report.
Intel’s Jim Keller Leaves the Company for ‘Personal Reasons’
Jim Keller, the designer behind AMD’s Zen and lead chip architect at Intel for the past two years, has left the company abruptly. Intel’s statement on the matter says only that Keller departed for “personal reasons,” and that he will serve as a consultant for six months following the transition.
Keller’s departure came as a surprise to many in the industry. Only last month, a glowing Fortune article declared that Intel was “betting its chips” on Keller. The same article notes that Jim has a tendency to join companies and do the initial work only to depart afterward, but his two-year tenure at Intel is still short, even by his standards. Keller spent approximately five years at AMD working on Zen, from 2012 – 2017. He’s been at Intel for just two.
