Intel Names Chief Technology Officer

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 25, 2001
- Intel Corporation today named Patrick
Gelsinger to the position of chief
technology officer, making him the first
CTO in the company's 33-year
history. Reporting directly to Intel President
and CEO Craig Barrett,
Gelsinger will coordinate longer-term research and
help ensure consistency
among Intel's emerging computing, networking and
communications technologies.

Gelsinger, 40, will lead a new organization called the Corporate
Technology
Group, encompassing many of Intel's research activities, including
the Intel
Architecture Labs and Intel Research. The group will provide
research and
technology direction across product lines, and will work with
the industry
to create and deliver key industry specifications, standards
and
technologies. Product development responsibilities, as well
as
business-specific research functions, will remain in their
respective
business groups.
"The convergence of digital computing and
communications requires the
coordination of many of Intel's technology and
research efforts at a high
level," Barrett said. "Pat's experience driving
research and development
initiatives at Intel for more than 20 years makes
him uniquely qualified to
direct this activity going forward. Our goals are
to offer a consistent
direction to the computing and communications
industries and to continue to
play a leadership role in establishing industry
specifications and
standards.
"I also want to acknowledge and thank Craig
Kinnie for his efforts in
creating and driving the Intel Architecture Labs
over the years. He retires
in October after 26 years at Intel. Craig helped
create some of the
important standard technologies used in the computing
industry today."
Gelsinger, who joined Intel in 1979, has held a variety of
research,
development and general management positions at the company,
including
responsibility for the Intel 486(tm) and Pentium® Pro processor
families and
management of Intel's Desktop Products Group. He most recently
served as CTO
of the Intel Architecture Group. He has a master's degree in
electrical
engineering from Stanford University and holds six patents in the
areas of
VLSI design, computer architecture and communications.
Intel, the
world's largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer of
computer,
networking and communications products. Additional information
