Intel continues to replenish the ranks of the corporate graphics division with new experienced employees at the expense of defectors from the camp of competitors. Obviously, Intel does not skimp on funding graphics projects. In addition, new work means new horizons, which always promises a lot of interesting things. However, the basis for the massive influx of experienced personnel into the Intel Core and Visual Computing Group division was probably laid by the former head of the AMD graphics development division, Raja Koduri, by his personal example, which was the main confirmation of Intel's firm intentions to return to the discrete graphics market.
Heather Lennon, a global marketing specialist for AMD graphics solutions in social networks and other digital media, has recently moved from AMD to Intel, according to TweakTown. Lennon has been shaping the image of AMD graphics cards in various online communities for over 10 years. Apparently, she did this quite successfully, as she was awarded a number of prestigious awards and prizes, which are established by specialized organizations in the field of marketing. Among other things, Lennon's specialization in mass products AMD Radeon and Ryzen transparently hints at Intel's preparations for the release of not only server versions of graphics adapters, but also the relatively imminent appearance of consumer products.
As for the transition to Intel of another specialist from NVIDIA, then he became an expert in technical marketing Mark Taylor (Mark Taylor). At NVIDIA, Taylor promoted Tesla-branded products and DGX platforms. At Intel, he will do the same, but as part of the Intel Graphics Marketing group, developing Intel's data center strategy with branded graphics adapters. By the way, a week has not passed since the previous message about the transition to Intel from NVIDIA, another leading specialist in the person of Tom Petersen. At this pace, in the core divisions of AMD and NVIDIA, by the time Intel enters the graphics market, competitors may completely change their leadership.
