I guess the bearded guy in Scarlet reveal will get a promotion as new chief architect.
Seriously, Intel has been poaching talents for their GPU for a while.

this gives credence to ps5 being more powerful and he was canned.

Congrats guy!

Aparently his work was fully done with Scarlet so it hasn't affected that. Good on him if he moved on to what he sees as a better opportunity and more pay. I'm sure he will move up quick at Intel.

Thats a conversation over a beer with friends not social media.

If the Hellpoint dev didn't confirm this I don't believe it.

If a native 4k, raytraced, 60 fps version of the Final Fantasy 7 remake is a Ps5 launch title, will you guys wait and get that version?

Intel is getting serious in the GPU business. Very nice.

That is THE worst fuckin beard ever. It just looks gross. I mean, Captain Lou’s beard had all kinds of debris and rubber bands in it and shit and that was still less offensive. Fuck dude, go take a weed eater to that thing.

Good for Intel, but not for future Xbox?

It looks like it's coming out of his mouth.

Depends on the guy who is replacing him. I imagine they probably knew about this for a bit, so hopefully they were prepared. But congrats to him, Intel trying to get serious.

It’s a disgusting fucking beard. Imagine when he brushes his teeth and that mop is just slipping around in the sink. Vile. He looks like a character from LoTR.

Yep. I’m sure they’ll just hire some other dude with same credentials as him, but I’m excited with what Intel has cooking up.

Next Gen beard... ain't no one at Playstation with beard like that!

[CyberPanda]

Wait, is he replacing the dude leaving in the PR?

 

[Kagero]

John Sell -Out!

I kid! I kid!

 

[ethomaz]

He probably finished his work on Scarlett and moved to new horizons.

All these employees have no allegiance to any company, they just want good money and sign a contract before getting hired. Once that contract is up, they pack up their bags and go somewhere else(because they get more money at the next potential job).

i bet cerny couldnt even GROW a beard!!!

I bet he has a nice thick pubic bush. Soft as pillows.

Oh shit. Xbox CPUs and GPUs will be lost in his beard.

Every Xbox Scarlett will come with a piece of his beard stuck in it. You'll know your Xbox is running hot when the scent of his pungent beard starts burning. It'll grow back during rest mode through the power of Zen.

That beard demonstrates the next gen power of ray tracing and pixel shaders.

I don’t think we are ready for that yet.

The article says he will be overseeing Chip Security. That’s a pretty big issue at Intel right now.
