Sachin Katti Leaves Intel for OpenAI as CEO Lip-Bu Tan Assumes AI Leadership

The departure underscores the draw of AI labs during Intel's push to regain ground in advanced compute.

Overview

  • OpenAI president Greg Brockman said Katti will help design and build the compute infrastructure that supports the company’s AGI research.
  • Intel confirmed Katti’s exit and said Lip-Bu Tan will directly lead its AI and Advanced Technologies Group.
  • The change comes during Intel’s leadership reshuffle that expanded Naga Chandrasekaran’s remit and brought in former Arm executive Kevork Kechichian to run the data center unit.
  • Intel also added Craig H. Barratt to its board as an independent director, extending governance changes tied to its turnaround efforts.
  • Intel reported third-quarter revenue of $13.65 billion, topping estimates, as the company continues to chase stronger performance against Nvidia and TSMC in data-center AI chips.
