Intel has announced the resignation of Jim Keller, a chip designer who has also worked at AMD, Apple, Tesla and PA Semiconductor. Keller, who joined Intel two years ago, will be leaving with immediate effect, for personal reasons. He will remain as a consultant for six months to help out.

Semiconductor engineering leader Gene Scuteri will head the Xeon and Networking Engineering Group.
Daaman Hejmadi will return to lead the Client Engineering Group focused on system-on-chip (SoC) execution and designing next-generation client, device and chipset products.
Navid Shahriari will continue to lead the Manufacturing and Product Engineering Group, which is focused on delivering comprehensive pre-production test suites and component debug capabilities for high-quality, high-volume manufacturing.
Intel’s Technology, Systems Architecture and Client Group (TSCG) is headed by Venkata (Murthy) Renduchintala.
