Raja Koduri helped jumpstart Intel’s renewed push into desktop graphics last year, but he’s now departing to focus on a new startup.
Raja Koduri, Intel’s EVP of Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics, is leaving the company to focus on a new startup.
Koduri confirmed his exit on Twitter after Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger thanked him for his many contributions to the company during his role as chief architect and executive vice president.
The departure is a bit surprising since Intel originally hired Koduri—a former chief architect at AMD’s Radeon group—in 2017 to helm the company’s renewed push into discrete computer graphics. Last year, Intel finally launched its Arc GPU line for both laptops and desktops with plans to introduce next-generation products in the coming years.
