Lip Putan Revitalize the Intel x86 Ecosystem
We will focus on growing share in our core client and server segments. To that end, I am working closely with our product and engineering teams to strengthen our roadmap.
In client, Panther Lake is our top priority as it will reinforce our strength in notebooks across consumer and enterprise. We also must drive continued progress on Nova Lake to close gaps in the high-end desktop space.
In data center, we are focused on regaining share as we ramp Granite Rapids while also improving our capabilities for hyperscale workloads. To support this, we are reintroducing simultaneous multi-threading (SMT). Moving away from SMT put us at a competitive disadvantage. Bringing it back will help us close performance gaps. We are also making good progress in our search for a permanent leader of our data center business, and I plan to share more on that this quarter.
Across client and data center, I've directed our teams to define next-generation product families with clean and simple architectures, better cost structures and simplified SKU stacks. In addition, I have instituted a policy where every major chip design is reviewed and approved by me before tape-out. This discipline will improve our execution and reduce development costs.
