Nditsho nasemva kokushiya i-Intel ngo-2009, uPat Gelsinger waqhubeka ethetha ngenkampani awayeyisebenzela ukusukela kwiminyaka yakhe yobutsha.
Xa ebuzwa malunga ne-Intel, uza kuxelela abaphulaphuli ukuba umcebisi wakhe kunye nowayesakuba ngumphathi we-Intel u-Andy Grove babumba njani. Ngoku, uGelsinger, obuyile kwi-Intel, unethuba lokuphinda aseke isitayile sobunkokeli esakha sakhokelela kwi-Intel ukuba ibe ngumphathi omkhulu wokwenza i-chip. Kwangelo xesha, wazisa nezifundo ezifundwe kwezinye iindawo ukuya kwi-Intel, enceda inkampani ukusuka kwiminyaka eli-10 yokuBuyisa kwakhona kweyona ngxaki inkulu.
UBloomberg wakhankanya ukuba uGelsinger oneminyaka engama-59 ubudala wajoyina kwakhona kuba i-Intel ijongene nabantu abakhuphisana nabo kunye neenkampani ezazingabathengi bayo kodwa nazo zangena ebaleni. Owona mceli mngeni wajongana nawo yayikukusombulula iingxaki zeemveliso ze-Intel, ezazisakuba ziziphathamandla ze-CEO uBob Swan noBrian Krzanich basilelayo ukuzifezekisa.
Ngokungafaniyo ne-Swan, uGelsinger unolwazi lobuchwephesha kunye namava olawulo lwangaphakathi olubanzi, ekufuneka aliguqule kwimeko ye-Intel. Njengoyilo lwangaphambili lwe-chip, uGelsinger uyabuqonda ubunjineli obuntsonkothileyo beemveliso ze-Intel. Njenge-CEO yangaphambili ye-VMware, wamkela ilifu lekhompyuter yelifu, elibumba ngokutsha eyona ntengiso ibalulekileyo ye-Intel.
Umhlalutyi kaRaymond James & Associates uChris Caso uthe uGelsinger ungoyena mntu uthandekayo kubatyali mali, kwaye kwincoko yethu, ukwanguye nomphathi olandelayo we-Intel. Ungumphambukeli ngaphandle-ukusuka kumbutho omncinci kakhulu kwaye oguqukayo odale ngempumelelo inkqubo yendalo kunye neseti yemigangatho yemizi-mveliso kumashumi ambalwa eminyaka adlulileyo, unezinto ezininzi ezisisiseko ezintsha, kwaye ukwalilifa le-Intel.
Malunga no-2006, uGelsinger wayeyingcali ekhokelayo, enxibelelana ngesicwangciso esitsha se-Intel kwimarike ngokukhawuleza kunangaphambili, oko kukuthi, ukuzisa uyilo lwe-chip okanye ubuchwephesha obuhlaziyiweyo bokuthengisa kwintengiso minyaka le. Eli bango lisondele, kuba i-AMD iyabamba, ihlala kwikota yentengiso ye-chip yemarike enenzuzo, xa kuthelekiswa phantse ne-zero kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo.
Ngelo xesha, uGelsinger wabiza esi siqendu sintsha sobuchwephesha sinengcwangu "Tick Tock". Esi sicwangciso sasebenza. Kwiminyaka embalwa kamva, isabelo se-AMD sentengiso ye-chip sibuyele ngaphantsi kwe-1%.
Ngo-1979, xa wayeneminyaka eli-18 kuphela ubudala, wajoyina i-Intel emva nje kokuphumelela kwikholeji yobugcisa. Ngelixa wayefundela ukufumana isidanga esiphakamileyo kwiYunivesithi yaseStanford, waqhubeka nokuyila inxalenye ye-chip ebaluleke kakhulu ye-Intel ka-8086. Kwakungexesha lokuphatha kwakhe njengegosa lokuqala kwezobuchwephetsha le-Intel awathi waduma njengomshumayeli okrelekrele wenkampani entsha nemibono ulwalathiso lophuhliso lwetekhnoloji yekhompyuter.
Abantu abaqhelene nesimbo sikaAndy Grove bathi, njengoGrove, xa uGelsinger evakalelwa kukuba abo bangaphantsi kwakhe bazama ukunqanda imibuzo okanye ukusilela ukuphendula imibuzo ngokunyaniseka, uyabakhalimela ngelizwi elothusayo. Uya kuthatha ixesha lokunxibelelana nabasebenzi kuwo onke amanqanaba abeza kuye ukuze bafumane iingcebiso.
UGelsinger wenze isigwebo esifanayo malunga nomsebenzi wakhe. Emva kokushiya i-Intel, wayehlala echaza ukuba izigqibo zobuchwephesha azenzileyo ngexesha lakhe ayilunganga, kwaye uxelele abanye ukuba uyakugxothwa xa kubonakala ukuba akasifanelanga isikhundla esiphakamileyo.
Emva kokushiya i-Intel ngo-2009, uGelsinger wajoyina i-EMC, umniki-nkonzo yokugcina idatha, njengomnye wabaviwa abaphumeleleyo kwi-CEO uJoe Tucci, owayeceba ukuthatha umhlala-phantsi. Endaweni yoko, uTucci wakhetha ukuhlala, kwaye ekugqibeleni uGelsinger waba yi-CEO ye-VMware, xa i-EMC ibambe uninzi lwe-VMware. Xa uDell wafumana i-EMC, ikwafumene ubunini beVMware.
Kwi-VMware, uGelsinger ujongene nomceli mngeni ophindwe kabini. Intengiso yeemveliso zeVMware zikhulile. Kwangelo xesha, kuthotho lokulungelelaniswa kwakhona, ubudlelwane phakathi kwenkampani noDell buyatshintsha.
Ukomeleza ukusebenza kwenkampani, uGelsinger wacebisa ngeendlela ezininzi kwaye ekugqibeleni wagqiba isicwangciso sokudibanisa inkampani yakhe kunye neenkonzo zefu zaseAmazon. IAmazon isebenza neVMware ukuphumelela abathengi abafuna ukuqhuba usetyenziso kwilifu, ngelixa bevumela amaziko abo edatha ukuba asebenze kunye nesoftware yeVMware.
Ngexesha lesigaba sokuqala sokuhlala kukaGelsinger, ixabiso lesitokhwe seVMware lehla, kodwa ukusukela ekuqaleni kuka-2016, kunye nokubuyiselwa kokukhula kwengeniso, ixabiso lesitokhwe seVMware sele liqalisile ukunyuka.
I-Bloomberg ibonise ukuba ukuphinda kuthenjwe ngababoneleli beenkonzo abakhokelayo njengeAmazon kunye noGoogle iya kuba ngumsebenzi ophambili kwi-Intel CEO. Ezi nkampani ziphakathi kwabathengi abakhulu beetshipsi zeIntel, kodwa baya beyila iichips zabo kwaye bazivelisa kwenye indawo. I-Intel yokucoca uhlaziyo lwesitayile samazinyo kunye nokwenza iterations nako kube negalelo kutshintsho olunje.
Nangona kunjalo, owona mceli mngeni mkhulu kaGelsinger iya kuba kukumisela ikamva lemveliso yeIntel. Ukuhamba kwakhe, umzi-mveliso weIntel wawunowona mgangatho uphezulu wemveliso kwishishini ngokudibanisa ngokusondeleyo uyilo lwangaphakathi nenkqubo yokuvelisa entsha. Ngoku, inkampani iwele ngasemva kweTSMC. I-TSMC ayizenzeli ii-chips zayo, kodwa ivelisa iichips kuninzi lwabakhuphisana ne-Intel.
I-CEO ephumayo i-Swan ithathela ingqalelo ukukhutshwa kwemveliso njengesicwangciso sokugcina, ngelixa i-Intel izama ukuphinda ikhokele kwimveliso yayo. Ezinye iinkokheli ze-Intel zikholelwa ukuba itekhnoloji yoyilo lwe-chip yenze utshintsho olusisigxina, kwaye indlela ehlanganisiweyo yokwenza umsebenzi othile ngaphakathi nangaphandle yeyona ndlela ilungileyo eya phambili.
UGelsinger kufuneka acacise olu lwazi ludidayo, olushiye abathengi kunye nabatyali mali bedidekile kwaye bethandabuza malunga nolawulo lwe-Intel. Kunyaka ophelileyo, ngaphandle kokunyuka kwesitokhwe esikhulu se-chip, ixabiso lesitokhwe le-Intel lehle nge-17%.
