Ryan Shrout Announces Departure from Intel

[AleksandarK]

The corporate world of semiconductor companies has seen some restructuring lately, and today, we learn that Ryan Shrout of Intel is leaving the company. Most recently serving as Senior Director of Client Segment Strategy, CCG at Graphics and AI Group, Ryan Shrout joined Intel over four years ago. Mr. Shrout started at the company as Chief Performance Strategist in 2018, and later, in 2020, he changed his role to Senior Director of Technical and Competitive Client Marketing. After that, he made a switch and was Senior Director of Gaming, Graphics, and HPC Marketing (AXG Marketing). His most recent role was relatively short-lived, only lasting for three months.

Many people in the community may know Mr. Shrout from his time at PC Perspective, which he founded and managed as Editor-in-Chief in 1999. However, today, on his Twitter/X profile, we're learning that he is departing Intel to take on another role. "Fall is a season for change! Yesterday was my last day at Intel. I'm going to take a couple weeks with the family then I'm excited to talk about what's next," the post stated. With such extensive experience in the PC industry, we are eager to see where Mr. Shrout lands next.

Shrout is out. I wonder who's going to fill his shoes?

Jeeze, the vitriol in this thread.

 

[Vayra86]

I've always wondered what the hell he was going to produce over there. I still do

Jeeze, the vitriol in this thread.

PCPerspective was considered an Intel/Nvidia biased site and many where accusing Ryan for this. If I remember correctly Ryan was pointing at his AMD past (I think had a forum before PCPer that was AMD centered????? ) to defend himself. Then gone to Intel.

Well, he can always come back to PC Perspective to troll around. Their quality dropped bigly anyways when Ryan Shrout Allyn Malventano left.

Really surprised it took Intel 4 years to realize that he isn't the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, lol.

Scott Henkelman. Da Man.

His experience with his site probably was making him valuable for connecting Intel with it's fanbase. A person who can talk to enthusiasts and gamers and promote stuff to that market. But with Intel not having the best CPUs, or at least a clear advantage in the pro enthusiast market like AMD with ThreadRipper and being still far behind in GPUs for various reasons, his role probably was pointless. Then again, looking at his latest title "Senior Director of Gaming, Graphics, and HPC Marketing (AXG Marketing)", maybe that Starfield fiasco with ARC GPUs not being able to play from day one the most famous title of the last two months(thank you Nvidia) could be somehow related.

Allyn Malventano also went to Intel (Solidigm).

This guy did so much unnecessary damage to the brand with his BS.

If you want to look like a giant shady corporation, that will lie and cheat to the maximum extent, this is your guy.

Allyn was also an Intel fan, but his knowledge on storage stuff was topnotch. And Intel was top in storage anyway, so it was easy for him to promote a more Intel friendly...perspective. And he did had some integrity. Probably the only person that I was identifying as Intel fan in that site but still respected.

After those two had left, there was no reason really to stay there. In one of their motherboard reviews I was pointing in a comment that other sites where taking a different route than a few photos and a few benchmarks, by checking temps and stuff more thoroughly and maybe consider doing the same, only to get a angry response from the author. That was when I removed my PCPer bookmark from my browser.

yep, I hope they didn't hire that clown

Jeeze, the vitriol in this thread.

He used intel paid research as review data without disclaimer, then he got caught, then they hired him.

i was joining the thread only to comment on his bullshit made-up titles that makes those African warlord "conqueror of the british empire"-style titles look like child's play and was not disappointed on the info here as i was totally not aware on the scumbaggery he did as a shill before going to the company he shilled for but denied doing so....

"director of... research.. into marketing... of strategy... of client devices... on vision of performance strategies...", feels like titles that nepotist decrepit companies invent for papa's little boy because he's the owner of the company.

With many people leaving Intel's graphics department, I have some serious doubts about the going concern of Intel's dGPU efforts.

PC Perspective started off as an AMD coverage site if I remember correctly. Ryan also started a research company with two of his co-workers that also went on to work with Intel/Intel's SSD division.

They took money from intel, via the "research company" to do an intel case study on optane.
They then used the data from that white paper on a review on pcper without disclaimer of the payment.

Dont forget about the "real world performance" metric. That was a doozie.

It was an arbitrary metric tacked on the end of their reviews, their thumb on the proverbial scale.
