François Piednoël, one of Intel's most prominent engineers, who had been with the company for more than 20 years, is leaving for a change of scene, but we don't know where he is going.

There is a great surprise in the processor market and it is that one of Intel's most prominent engineers, François Piednoël, would have left the company after 20 years working. This has been one of the most important engineers at Intel in recent years. In recent years, he has worked on the development of the Katmai, Conroe, Penryn, Nehlaem and SoC architectures, which introduced the iGPUs in the Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell, Broadwell, Skylake and Kaby processors to the processor market. Lake. Additionally, he has been working on the development of HyperThreadring, the CPU-Z utility and Android x86, which means that it did a little of everything and quite well, too.

This is a small summary of Piednoël, one of the most important and historical engineers of the company and that everything is said, the announcement of this departure from Intel has been an incredible surprise. It was the same who said in his Twitter account, that he is leaving the company. We do not know where this engineer will land or if he will take a sabbatical, what we do know is that the chances of him signing for AMD are practically nil, since some time ago a user asked him on Twitter about whether he would work for AMD, at the who answered a resounding 'NEVER!'

There is no data on the signing in another company, but Samsung, Qualcomm or NVIDIA could be his next stops, although he may take a little break, who knows. Another possibility is that he goes to work for a company related to Artificial Intelligence, to take advantage of the knowledge and capabilities of this engineer. The tweet posted hints at the future: '20 years making things go faster, faster, always faster… It's time to make things smarter, smarter, always smarter! '
