Note from Pat Gelsinger –

I am thrilled and humbled to be returning to Intel as CEO. I was 18 years old when I joined Intel, fresh out of the Lincoln Technical Institute. Over the next 30 years of my tenure at Intel, I had the honor to be mentored at the feet of Grove, Noyce and Moore. Intel then helped me continue my education at Santa Clara University and Stanford University. The company also gave me the opportunity to work on the forefront of silicon innovation with the best and brightest talent in the industry.

and…

He is formally trained and has a associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degrees in electrical engineering and was the architect of the original Intel 80486 processor.

Intel (now?) has the leadership and potential to enter the microcontroller market (again?) and bring AI, IoT, scripting languages, and more to MCUs.
