Intel replaces its chief executive after a rocky stretch
(AP Photo/Richard Drew, File)Intel is replacing its CEO after only two years in what had been a rough stretch for the chipmaker. Bob Swan, who became the company's chief executive in early 2019, will be replaced in mid-February by tech industry veteran Pat Gelsinger. Apple also dealt a blow to Intel last year when it began replacing Intel processors with Apple-designed chips on new Mac computers. He spent most of that time with Intel Corp., where he began his career and was its first chief technology officer. After a search, Intel confirmed Swan as CEO in early 2019.
