From PC World: Tough love? Newly appointed Intel chief executive Lip-Bu Tan told employees this week that the company is not among the top 10 leading chipmakers, according to a report.
Tan reportedly made his remarks to a company-wide meeting of employees, according to OregonLive.

Tan acknowledged that the company had been the leader decades ago, before falling out of a leadership position.
