People are putting too much emphasis on the new Intel CEO having an engineering background. Having that kind of background in a company as large as Intel doesn't have the same impact as it does on a smaller more nimble company. This is a misinformed narrative that seems to spreading quickly through LTT fan base. I blame Linus for this.<br><br>With that said, having a background could help, but he's been there for year including during the time where Intel slipped, so it might just be more of the same. It also takes a while for SSIntel to change directions, so we may not see the ramifications of this change for 2-5 years.
