Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan announced a new policy during the company’s earnings call.

He will personally review and approve all major chip designs before they proceed to tape-out.

The move aims to enhance Intel’s chip development process.

Tan, a former CEO of Cadence Design Systems with experience in chip design, said he has addressed previous issues related to multi-threading in upcoming chip designs.

This decision is part of Intel’s push to refine its design processes and improve product reliability.
