Together, we will work hard to restore Intel’s position as a world-class products company, establish ourselves as a world-class foundry and delight our customers like never before,” Tan said in a letter to Intel employees on Wednesday.

With a permanent CEO, Intel now has some stability. But turning around the design and manufacturing businesses won’t be easy.
