Intel Hires Former GlobalFoundries CTO, IBM Chip Exec Gary Patton

From CRN: Intel has hired former GlobalFoundries CTO Gary Patton, a semiconductor industry veteran who has experience leading design enablement as well as the development of process and packaging technologies for computer chips.

The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company confirmed to CRN the hiring of Patton, whose title will be corporate vice president and general manager of design enablement. A spokesman said Patton will report to Intel CTO Mike Mayberry. Reuters first reported the news.

Patton was most recently CTO and senior vice president of worldwide research and development and design enablement at GlobalFoundries, a Santa Clara, Calif.-based semiconductor foundry that manufactures chips for other companies like AMD, Broadcom and Qualcomm. The company spun out of Intel rival AMD in 2008 after the chipmaker announced plans to go fabless.
