On the issue of CEO succession – as in many things – ARM has acted in stark contrast to rival semiconductor company Intel.
Intel Corp. (Santa Clara, Calif.) announced back in November 2012 that CEO Paul Otellini would be retiring in May 2103, aged 62, and then set off on a headhunting exercise, which seemed to show signs that the company is spooked.
