On September 16, Intel made an official announcement stating that Pat Gelsinger, who currently serves as the Chairman of Intel China, is slated to retire this month. This leadership transition is a well - planned step in the company's management succession strategy. It follows the appointment of Wang Zhicong as the Vice Chairman of Intel China back in February of this year.

Gelsinger has an impressive track record at Intel, having dedicated three decades of his career to the company. During his long tenure, he has taken on a wide range of crucial technical and business leadership roles. Since stepping into the position of Chairman of Intel China in 2021, he has played a pivotal role in reshaping Intel's strategy in the Chinese market.

Interestingly, this leadership change comes at a significant time, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of Intel's foray into the Chinese market. It marks a new chapter not only for Intel China but also serves as a moment to reflect on the company's long - standing presence and influence in the Chinese tech landscape.
