While Intel struggles to avoid being outflanked by all-things ARM, tech outsiders are also speculating that with Apple's mobile devices devouring the PC market, the mobile tech titan could soon find Intel's processing technology irrelevant – and cut all ties, bringing its chip development needs in-house, leaving Intel out in the cold. "No man is rich enough to buy back his past." ~ Oscar Wilde (1854 – 1900) At Intel's annual investor day last May, CEO Otellini promulgated that the company was dead serious: Intel would leverage its cutting-edge, fabrication technology and become a dominant player in the fast-growing mobile device sector. Come this May, however, the one development shareholders will know with certainty is that Otellini will exit the stage with an earned retirement package worth $50.7 million -- $45.7 million if you exclude stock and option grants out-of-the money (exercise price greater than $21 a share)! With a retirement deal like that, why would Otellini even want to buy back his past?
