Shi Gongzheng, General Manager of Lenovo's wholly-owned subsidiary Dingdao Zhixin, has announced his resignation. He previously spearheaded Lenovo's in-house chip development team, which is now under the stewardship of Jia Chaohui, Senior Vice President of Lenovo Group. Dingdao Zhixin specializes in the R&D of edge-side chips, and whispers in the industry suggest that the company has successfully taped out a 5nm chip, albeit with no official announcement of its release. Since the onset of 2024, Dingdao Zhixin has embarked on a personnel restructuring, with some employees experiencing non-renewal of their contracts. Additionally, there are reports indicating that Dingdao Zhixin had explored acquisition opportunities, albeit unsuccessfully. Analysts speculate that these adjustments might be aligned with strategic decisions made by Lenovo's senior management and that the company could further refine its staffing in the foreseeable future.
