Intel restructuring as it focuses on GPUs and high-performance computing

The company also announced that Sandra Rivera and Raja Koduri will take on new leadership roles within the company, which also includes two tech giants, Nick McCain and Greg Lavender. The latter comes from VMWare where he served the company in the positions of Senior Vice President and CEO (Chief Executive Officer). At Intel, he has held the roles of Senior Vice President, CTO (Chief Technology Officer) and General Manager of the Software and Advanced Technology Group (SATG).

Raja Koduri will head Intel’s Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics (AXG) division, which aspires to compete with Nvidia as its offering of high-performance computing and data centers has gained significant grounding at Intel, particularly artificial intelligence and machines. Following the rise of learning software. Raja Koduri previously worked at Apple, but was better known during his tenure at AMD, from where he left in 2017 to join Intel.

Sandra Rivera, Raja Koduri, Nick McCain and Greg Lavender will report directly to Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger. It is worth noting that Naveen Shenoy, who was in charge of datacenter and AI before Sandra Rivera took over, will leave Intel on July 6.

However, as is well known, Intel has faced – and continues to face – a number of problems in recent years in manufacturing its processors at scale of 10nm and less, although one for its new graphics processors (GPUs). Will take a different approach, using the know-how and production capability of well-known company TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) to be able to compete more effectively with Nvidia’s offering.

One of the reasons why Nvidia gained a significant base on Intel was that it provided developers and software developers with all the tools they needed to write code specific to the chips, and this seemed to be the core business of its new team. Greg Lavender. Intel has also announced that it is working on software tools to develop applications for new types of chips, such as those based on the RISC-V open source architecture. The company seems to have moved on to acquire SiFive, a leader in this space.
