Perlmutter will take charge of architecture and product development while, Maloney will handle business and operations.  Intels’s Technology and Manufacturing Group (TMG), will now be Andy Bryant’s responsibilty, Intel’s chief administrative officer and also an executive vice president.

The micro-architecture planning, microprocessor and chipset development, SOC (system on a chip) and wireless teams are going to managed by Sunil Shenoy, Steve Pawlowski, Rony Friedman, Rob Crooke and Raviv Melamed and  there will be six respective business groups operating under the new IAG roof.

Meanwhile, EMC confirmed that Patrick Gelsinger has joined the company as the new President and Chief Operating Officer, EMC Information Infrastructure Products, where he will manage  EMC’s Information Infrastructure products, including its RSA Information Security, Information Storage, Content Management and Archiving and Ionix IT management divisions.

Later, Gelsinger stated, “Over the last three decades, Intel has provided me with extraordinary opportunities and the ultimate executive proving ground. For that I remain forever grateful. I’m also thrilled with the road ahead and prospect of helping lead a company of EMC’s stature. The technology industry has undergone almost incomprehensible change over the last three decades since I entered it.

He also added, “The rate and pace of change and challenge is not abating in the slightest. EMC is extremely well positioned to play a pivotal role in the IT industry for decades to come, and I am privileged to join Joe and his EMC leadership team in that endeavor.”

Well,  what the future hold for a man like Patrick Gelsinger,  with highly acclaimed credentials and in-depth technical knowledge and management, will have to be seen.
