It's funny how new company CEOs always seem to blame their predecessors for whatever went wrong and it seems like Pat Gelsinger is no different, as he's throwing shade at his predecessors for not having been engineers. At the same time, he's set his mind on winning Apple back as a customer, as all Intel apparently has to do "is create a better chip than they can do themselves", with they being Apple here.
It should be pointed out that Intel hasn't had an engineer at the helm of the company since 2005, so the question is how far back Pat Gelsinger wants to throw the blame, although a guesstimate would be back to at least 2012/2013 when Paul Otellini stepped down. That said, in an interview with Axios, it's stated that "while he acknowledges the need to prove himself, Gelsinger said he will rebuild the company's credibility with its customers so that if they say they need a million of some chip by Monday, the order will be there by Sunday night."
That's a lofty goal during the current circumstances, although it seems like he has an ever bigger goal in mind and that is to get Intel back in with Apple, although technically the company isn't "out" as yet, since the Mac Pro and the 27-inch iMac are still Intel based. Gelsinger said Apple "did a pretty good job" with its new SoCs, although this was before the M1 Pro and M1 Max were announced, so it would be interesting to hear what he thinks about the new chips. It's hard to see Apple going back to Intel, especially in the mobile space, unless Intel can somehow beat Apple's own processors when it comes to both performance and power efficiency.
For those of us that have been around for a while and that have followed Intel, it's hard to see how Intel is going to deliver a competitive product, since the company is infamous for its comparatively poor power efficiency compared to Arm based SoCs and there's a reason why Intel no longer is competing in the smartphone market space. So what does Gelsinger plan to do in the meantime? Well, it looks like he's going to be busy making sure Intel makes better and more appealing products. You can watch part of the interview below.
