What Trump tariffs really mean to semiconductors: former Intel CEO

There isn’t much Pat Gelsinger hasn’t done in the tech industry. He created cutting edge technology decades ago at Intel (INTC). Then went off to VMWare to reinvest the tech player. He then returned to Intel several years ago to revive the chip giant. But Gelsinger’s tenure at Intel was rocking as the company fell behind rivals like Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD)with AI chips.
