Sohail Ahmed, who has jointly led Intel’s vaunted manufacturing group since 2016, will retire next month, the company told employees Monday. Intel said it plans to reorganize the Hillsboro unit, breaking it into three pieces.
The shake-up comes amid a crisis in Intel manufacturing, which is years behind schedule in delivering the company’s next-generation, 10-nanometer chip technology. Intel says the chips, originally due in 2015, won’t be in mass production until late next year.
