Yeah, I didn't mean to imply he did nothing at all.

He did a good job of pushing node shrinks, and did an awful lot of them awfully fast.

Though, my vibe is he was probably fired because he had the unfortunate issue of being an engineer and didn't really have the ability to stay in proper CEO-speak and was talking and causing a LOT of damage to Intel with what he said, when, and to whom.

A good example is shitting on TSMC while being entirely reliant on them for client chips. The CEO thing would have been to just shut up and say how much you like working with them and how great the partnership is but uh, that's not what he did.
