Pat Gelsinger's Successor Leads Intel's Transformation with Pragmatic Management

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger (Chen Li-wu) arrived in Taiwan for the COMPUTEX technology show. Known for his low-key and pragmatic style, he has overseen a 340% rise in Intel's stock price over the past 14 months. He has reshaped the company's culture by introducing disciplined management practices typical of Chinese enterprises. At COMPUTEX, he is expected to present his vision for the next generation of computing, emphasizing collaboration with the Taiwanese supply chain, particularly TSMC. Unlike his predecessor, he has focused on aligning production capacity with actual customer demand. He has also flattened the leadership structure to reduce bureaucracy and accelerate innovation. With strong support from the US government, Intel remains a cornerstone of American semiconductor strategy. The company's future success hinges on the stable ramp-up of the 18A process and the expansion of its foundry services to external clients.
