Intel xe, the marketing managers of this gpu leave intel

GPU Xe marketing directors Chris Hook and Heather Lennon leave the company, in a decision that has caused surprise since they had left AMD to accompany Raja Koduri on the Intel Xe team.

Chris Hook and Heather Lennon leave the Intel Xe team

Raja Koduri had recruited Chris Hook, who was responsible for the marketing of all AMD GPUs, to do the same job at Intel for the next generation of Xe GPUs. Now he has left the company alongside Heather Lennon before this GPU goes on the market.

I did, following other ex graphics brethren like @HeatherJLennon and @Dr_jonnyfever. You'll be hearing more about my next gig shortly. Now for some rest and Turkey.

Jon Carvill left, Chris Hook left, and Heather Lennon (former AMD) all left Intel. Lennon was AMD's chief marketing officer for many years, it is remarkable that both have already left before the release of the Intel 'Xe' architecture.

Jon Carvill also left Intel, working on booting the Nuvia chip . Both Chris Hook and Heather Lennon will be part of Nuvia, a new company that seeks to create processors to compete with Intel and AMD, so it seems that this project is very serious. At the moment, this last information was not confirmed by the protagonists, but it is what SemmiAccurate affirms.

We hope that Intel can fill this gap quickly, the next Arctic Sound and Ponte Veccio releases were probably under your responsibility. However, this should not affect the quality of these new products, or even the performance of the Intel Xe graphics architecture, since they are not leading engineers in their positions, but are more linked to the sales sector and achieve agreements commercial. We will keep you informed.
