Who is François Piednoël, you ask? Why, just the principal engineer at Intel for nearly 20 years now. He has been involved in the architecture development of CPUs, including Katmai, Conroe, Penryn, and Nehalem as well as SoCs in Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell, Broadwell, Skylake, and Kaby Lake. Oh, and did I mention he was also strongly involved in the Intel Atom processor line and the massive shift in Intel's microarchitecture from Pentium 4 to Core? He has also supported development of CPUz, Intel Hyperthreading, and the Android x86 platform.
François Piednoël is a big name in the industry, so it was a big surprise to see him quit Intel today. Time will tell where he ends up next, but if his reply tweet to his announcement is anything to go by it is not AMD. Nonetheless, we wish him the very best in his future endeavors and also remind readers that this does not necessarily mean anything for the future of Intel or the ongoing CPU market share battle.
I salute to Intel for keeping him for 20 years because he must have been probably one of the bests in the company with obviously rare skilsets, even when his english grammar is still not that good, despite working for . In India, if you are not fluent in english many companies won't even hire you even when you've got very good skillsets. No doubt west and other part of the world except are once who are true pioneers. In India, if I wrote sentences like that I am already considered illiterate by masses."I am informed my management that I do not wish to continue my emplyment...."
I don't understand why India would do this? They're making immense progress in different fields and limiting someone because they do not speak English very well seems stupid.Originally Posted by sumitlian
Oh boy, watchu gonna do now Intel ?

More than likely, they will find someone talented to continue the work.
It's like this as well in The Netherlands. At least, if the job requires an academic background. Something related to critical thinking or so. There are more of these rules.
dont blame him too much, he is French.....and I can say that objectively because so am I lol(Originally Posted by sumitlian

An academic person may as well speak Star Trek, but as long as he can prove himself in said field that he / she can excel, why would someone artificially limit him / her just because one can't past tense "Think" in English. What's more weird is that the said language forms part of the country's own culture & heritage that they seem to be dissing.Originally Posted by TheBlademaster01

There are way more rules that IMO don't make sense. I don't disagree with you, I'm just saying what's imposed here, not that I agree with the rules themselves. If your written and oral Dutch or English skills are poor, you'll have a problem. It's not like this everywhere, but it kind of is the norm over here.Originally Posted by huzzug

Maybe the reason is simpler than that. Most likely you aren't working alone, you work as a team and everybody must be able to communicate efficiently in the same language. Also, most useful technical documentation is in English.
Maybe he knows many people in the industry and wanted to inform them of leaving Intel. I doubt he would try to do anything sinister, but then again I'm not as malicious as most people and a job is just a job to me.Originally Posted by Owari
Why announce it to the world via Twitter, though? He could just have easily updated his LinkedIn or just moved on to the next opportunity silently. Of course, we're all free to do as we please and nobody should be beholden to their employer (or former employers), but with how Intel has been getting their teeth kicked in lately it's pretty obvious making a post such as this would drum up large amounts of speculation and be largely negative publicity for Intel.
When you have a population as large as India does you can be pretty picky with who you employ.
These aren't enforceable indefinitely. He might not be able to work for a competitor immediately but they couldn't prevent him ever doing so.
With the current patent system state that would be like starting a new x86 company.
