New Intel Ceo Tells Clients: 'be Brutally Honest With Us'

Tan earlier this month took over at Intel, which once enjoyed more than 90 market share in both PCs and data centre servers but has lost out to rivals such as Nvidia in recent years.

Speaking at Intels Vision event in Las Vegas, where the company was set to discuss products with its customers, Tan said he spent his first weeks on the job meeting with customers and said the company had fallen far short of their expectations.

Please be brutally honest with us. This is what I expect of you this week, and I believe harsh feedback is most valuable, Tan said.

Reuters has previously reported that Tan plans to eliminate what he views as a slow-moving and bloated middle management layer.
