Intel Corporation today announced that the company's former CEO Paul Otellini passed away in his sleep Monday, Oct. 2, 2017, at the age of 66. Paul Otellini became Intel's fifth chief executive officer in 2005. Under his leadership the company made important strategic, technological and financial gains. These included transforming operations and cost structure for long-term growth; assuming a leadership position in the server market segment; and maintaining profitability during the global recession.

Other accomplishments included signing on notable new customer engagements, such as winning the Apple PC business, and business partnerships and strategic acquisitions that expanded Intel's presence in security, software and mobile communications. On the financial front, Intel generated more revenue during his eight-year tenure as CEO than it did during the company's previous 45 years. In the last full year before he was named CEO, Intel had $34 billion in sales; by 2012, the number had grown to $53 billion.



"We are deeply saddened by Paul's passing," Intel CEO Brian Krzanich said. "He was the relentless voice of the customer in a sea of engineers, and he taught us that we only win when we put the customer first."

Otellini was born in San Francisco on Oct. 12, 1950, and remained a fan of the city all his life. He received a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of San Francisco in 1972 and an MBA from the University of California, Berkeley in 1974. He joined Intel in 1974 and served in a number of positions, including general manager of Intel's Peripheral Components Operation and the Folsom Microcomputer Division, and in 1989 as then-CEO Andy Grove's chief of staff.

From 1990 to 2002, he held various positions at Intel, including executive vice president and general manager of the Intel Architecture Group, responsible for the company's microprocessor and chipset businesses and strategies for desktop, mobile and enterprise computing, as well as executive vice president and general manager of the Sales and Marketing Group. Otellini also served as chief operating officer from 2002 to 2005.
"Paul's business acumen, optimism and dedication fueled our growth throughout his tenure as CEO," Intel Chairman Andy Bryant said. "His tireless drive, discipline and humility were cornerstones of his leadership and live on in our company values to this day."

Paul and his wife, Sandy, were married for 30 years. He is survived by his wife; his son, Patrick; and his daughter, Alexis. Since he retired in 2013, Otellini dedicated time to mentoring young people and being involved with several philanthropic and charitable organizations, including the San Francisco Symphony and San Francisco General Hospital Foundation.

Yeah - Otallini is the guy under whose watchful eye Intel bribed pre-built and laptop manufacturers to only use Intel's CPUs in their products.

Agreed, that's got to be some kind of joke. Otellini's reign over Intel can be characterized as very anti-consumer. He used dirty tactics to shoehorn AMD and keep a tight grip on a monopoly. It's because of that we were stuck with quad core CPUs in the mainstream for the longest time. It's really sad when a 2500k is STILL a good CPU.

But the 2500k is a good CPU though. Some of them can hit 5GHz really easily. Mine was 100Mhz short though but at 4.9Ghz there aint exactly a game out there thats gonna laugh at you.

It's amazingly sad when even the death of a historic individual brings out fanboy comments.

This is shameful.
I second this. Human decency be damned, let's act as if companies even give a damn about or juvenile fanboyism.

RIP Paul.

Difficult as it may be, this is a news piece about the death of a human being, who likely has family and friend who are mourning a loss.......... it is not an open "free for all" forum to discuss (once again) the merits or failings of competitive companies that risks completely derailing the thread because I see a load of comments coming in about lack of competition, lack of strategy and the like, if anyone would like to start a thread on the factual definition of a criminal (assuming the criminal had been tried and Convicted of a crime of course) then give it a go but not here thank you.

I will delete posts and quotes, happy to apply reply bans if needed if restraint proves difficult.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't honouring a person also done in ways of discussing his achievements, as done in the article above, as well as talking about the not so great things and maybe get a learning effect on what has been done in regards to doing it differently?

In my opinion, as long as the discussions on his achievements and shortcomings are staying factual and appropriate why not discuss the topic of Intel as he was the head of the same? Why is it seen as disrepectful? The posts that have now been deleted were neither discespectful nor aggrevating as far as I remember?

So you think calling a dead person a criminal is not disrespectful? (hence my comment about being tried and convicted of a crime) I could show you the number of reports that don't agree with your perspective but I won't, hence my post, some people are not mature enough to have a subjective non inflamitory discussion, there are plenty of Intel/AMD threads on the boards around here that evidence that these discussions rarely work, and to be honest are rarely factual, I am a great supporter of free speech, just not really a fan of the usual grief that goes with it here.

It was but that CPU was released in 2011. It's almost 2018 right now. To not come out with a architecture that's a worthy upgrade in that amount of time is insane in the technology world. In that same time period, mobile devices have matured and are now cooling off. A whole ecosystem was developed around mobile in that time. In addition, GPUs have massively grown as well, taking emerging fields like Machine learning. Intel has no one to blame but themselves for stagnating the CPU market.
