I could not put into words how much today has meant to me.
I’ve been following Intel ever since I was a child and it is not an exaggeration to say they are the reason I fell in love with chips and computers in the first place. I wouldn’t have been able to take the path I have chosen in life if it wasn’t for the thousands of brilliant hard working engineers at Intel who laid the foundation for the ground I walk on.
When I started following their bold bet on becoming a world class cutting edge foundry about a year ago I was galvanized by the vision that they set out. It wasn’t just important to me that Intel succeeded it was important to me that America succeeded. Silicon Valley was built by them and their cohort and it was critical to me that we not only maintained our standing in the semiconductor industry but for us to grow our industry so 100k other flowers could blossom.
There was no way this could be done without an American foundry on the leading edge. I believed in the plan from the start, and as an engineer myself I was absolutely confident that Intel was developing some of the world’s greatest technology and IP from 18A to backside power delivery to the amazing breakthroughs they’ve achieved in advanced packaging which I like to dub as the new Moore’s Law.
They are just getting started and there is without a shadow of a doubt more to come. Today I was vindicated for everything I’ve been talking about for over a year now. The semiconductor industry is won by those not who focus on optimizing margins but those who invest in innovation to bring value to the whole world.
Lip Bu Tan and the whole Intel team have delivered on innovation… and again this is just the beginning. I will be here waiting, watching, cheering every step of the way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the experience, the gifts, and your words of appreciation they mean more to me that you can possibly imagine.
With love,
