Intel has found a replacement for Raja Koduri for its GPU division in Deepak Patil. Previously serving as the CTO of Data Center and AI at Intel, he will be leading one of the most tumultuous and heavily scrutinized business units at Intel. AXG is also the most ambitious and building on the foundational work by Raja could see Deepak turning AXG into a real competitor to AMD Radeon and NVIDIA GeForce by market share.

With all eyes on Battlemage and Celestial, Deepak will have his work cut out from him and we can't wait to see how they are able to steer the ship to the success Intel deserves. He will also be the one to take the extremely important calls of the manufacturing process used in upcoming GPUs (including what is made at TSMC and what is made in-house at Intel, and what the processes will be), as well as volume, overall pricing and segmentation of their roadmap.
