Intel CEO says he’ll personally approve all chip designs from here on out.

Lip-Bu Tan on today’s earnings call:

I’m also instituting a policy. Every major chip design needs to be personally reviewed and approved by me before tape out.

He says it’ll move Intel “back towards a first time right mindset,” and that he’s already “taken steps to correct past mistakes regarding multi-threading capabilities” in future chips. Tan has a background in chip design and was CEO of chip design company Cadence for a decade.
