Intel appointed Lip-Bu Tan as its new CEO to address challenges faced after Pat Gelsinger’s retirement. Gelsinger's tenure, which began in February 2021, was marked by a modernization plan that aimed to revitalize Intel's chip manufacturing capabilities, primarily through a $20 billion investment in new facilities in Arizona. However, this plan faced complications, including the unsuccessful acquisition of Tower Semiconductor. The semiconductor industry also experienced significant consolidation during this time, reflecting broader industry shifts and competition.
Intel's new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, takes the reins at a challenging time, following a tumultuous period marked by missed opportunities and strategic missteps during Gelsinger's tenure.
Under Gelsinger, Intel launched the integrated device manufacturing plan, which aimed to modernize chip production with significant investments in U.S. manufacturing capabilities.
Despite ambitious plans to expand chip production, Intel encountered setbacks, including the cancellation of the Tower Semiconductor acquisition due to regulatory challenges.
The semiconductor industry saw considerable consolidation as companies like AMD and Analog made major acquisitions, marking a transformative period in the sector.
