<RE: "Otellini will take on sole management of the Intel Architecture Group, with direct responsibility for...Intel® Itanium(TM)" This is important to note: Otellini, not Splinter, is in charge of Itanium's launch.> You are misreading this as a positive for Itanium. I see this as Baret positioning Otellini to be the next fall guy. Kap

Amy, thread, well, Paul called this one, at least the Albert Yu part. I'll give him credit because he'll be too modest to say anything. We do have some current, and ex-Intel folks that post here. Wonder what they think? Greg S. has spoken. As you say, it's a positive thing that Intel has moved here and made one person solely responsible for the PIII continuing development and P4 rollout. I was wondering about other products in development, like Foster, are they under Otellini's direction? Tenchusatsu must know this. Otellini will take on sole management of the Intel Architecture Group, with direct responsibility for product roadmaps and design methodology; Intel's product initiatives in enterprise computing, including the launch of the Intel® Itanium(TM) processor family; and overall responsibility for Intel Architecture products business and strategies.

Hi Amy, re:2-in-a-box I agree with you that it is a good move to place all of the "old business" under one individual. Splinter is probably a good guy to handle it. My experience with what Intel calls "2-in-a-box" management positions is that it only works when: 1. There is a clear separation of duties between the two managers with clear expectations and measurable results for each (no mucking about in each other's sandbox. Too confusing to the organization) or ... 2. The 2-in-a-box situation is used to groom a successor to a senior manager who is going to move elsewhere Considering what has happened this year with Intel's product execution problems, I view this move as very positive. As I said in an earlier post, I have been away from Intel for several years, but Splinter was an excellent ops guy when I was there. I also see a positive in the separation of responsibilities for "existing biz" and the IA-64 launch. Each is too big a job to lay on one person. My $0.02 worth ..... Greg.
