Media: Apple VP Johny Srouji has received an offer from Intel to lead the company

Last week it became known that Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger is leaving his post after 45 years at the company.

At the moment the Intel board of directors is searching for a new head and it was reported that this post was offered to Apple's vice president of hardware technology Johny Srouji.

Here's What We Know

As it became known, Intel is interested in Srouji to lead the company. Moreover, he had already received a similar offer in 2019 when Intel's previous head Brian Krzanich left the company. But back then, Srouji said that he was "not seriously considering the post" as he was engrossed in working on Apple's first Silicon chips for Mac computers.

It's not yet known what kind of response Johnny Srouji will give Intel, but a positive decision seems unlikely, as Apple is now at its peak and preparing to launch ambitious products of its own: A 5G modem and a new HomePod with a 7-inch OLED screen, and Srouji is at the heart of the process.
