DigiTimes reports that Intel has apparently contacted TSMC's former CEO, Mark Liu, to lead the company in the future. It is important to note that this is a "wild rumor" for now, especially considering the fact that Mark has already retired from TSMC, and his retirement agreement will definitely not have an option for joining another firm, especially when it is an arch-rival. Intel has now announced two interim co-CEOs: David Zinsner and Michelle (MJ) Johnston Holthaus.
While the next CEO replacement hasn't been revealed yet, names are definitely popping up, with one of them being Mark Liu. If we take wild guesses, Intel would probably need someone who can manage to turn around the product markets and maybe someone who already has the experience for such a significant turnover. Potential successors include Raja Koduri, who was previously responsible for Intel's dGPU ambitions, and Victor Peng, a retired AMD executive.
These names are just guesses for now, based on the fact that Team Blue desperately needs a CEO who can restructure the organization, and that too by going into deep roots. Not only is the foundry division a mess right now, but the manufacturing and product departments are victims of sluggish performance, which is why Intel has reached a state where it is looking toward selling off assets.
