Sean Maloney is widely seen as Paul Otellini's replacement??? Be very afraid Intel people…Very afraid!!!

Everything Sean touches turns to pewter not gold…I see somethings never change. Screw up to move up…

Your imagination is blurring your judgement! I have worked over 20 years at Intel: I can tell you that your speculation on the IDF agenda makes you simply a conspiration theory adept!

And AMD ashes are already cold…it will not rise from it!

Having worked at Intel for nearly a decade…this is much ado about nothing.

Pat Gelsinger is more than a fine substitute for Paul or Sean at IDF. Seriously, he's a technical wizard and is widely recognized to be the best technologist of the 3. Not to mention the fact that he has been with Intel forever…

On top of that, Sean is a sales/marketing guy. Where else should he be, but at the world's largest sporting & marketing event???

Good to hear Paul is taking his sabbatical…too bad he had to split it. 8 weeks off is the way to go!

Look at it this way, what great succession planning! Intel has two very well qualified back-up Sr. Executives that can cover the daily business. That's solid planning and implementation.

And no sightings of Big Foot either? Perhaps you are looking for Hector Ruiz.

Paul's message is clear – come work at Intel, where the impossible trinity of finding a career position that offers i) power/influence/prestige, ii) money as well as iii) Flexibility/quality of life is not so impossible after all.

It is when you consider the rank and file Intel employees who request to split their sabbaticals as Mr. O did are not allowed to….
