Intel loses execs managing PCs and the Internet of Things
Intel has had its fair share of high-profile departures as of late (most notably the iconic Mooly Eden, who left last year), and they don't appear to be stopping any time soon. Senior VP Kirk Skaugen, the head of Intel's Client Computing (aka PC) division, is leaving the company for his "next career opportunity." He'll finish on April 8th, and will be replaced by mobile client VP Navin Shenoy. Meanwhile, Internet of Things group manager Doug Davis is retiring at the end of 2016. There's no named replacement yet, but Davis will stick around until someone can fill his shoes.
Intel promises more than 10 new tablets at Computex, including Android and MeeGo versions
For all its processing might, Intel is a non-player in the booming tablet space. Consumers, no longer trapped in the WinTel PC juggernaut, are increasingly opting for devices running software experiences optimized for more power efficient ARM processors. Intel hopes to break back into the market it once dominated with the release of "more than ten new tablets" at Computex later this month. Navin Shenoy, Intel general manager for Asia Pacific, elaborated saying "more than 35" tablets equipped with Intel chipsets are on track to ship this year. Of course, Intel chief Paul Otellini already told us that he'd have MeeGo, Windows, and Android tablets on display at the big Taiwan event. Just imagine it: Honeycomb on an Oak Trail tablet. We'll be bringing it to you live when Computex kicks off on May 31st.
