> “Intel reminds me of Digital [DEC],” Keller says. “It has the technical excellence and [culture of] collaboration, but sometimes the collaboration goes way too far.” One meeting he attended early on had 50 participants debating what he considered a simple topic. “At Tesla if that ever happened, Elon would just kill everybody,” he says.
(Если серьёзно, о причинах задержки выпуска 10nm можно прочитать здесь:

По этой цитате можно сделать вывод, что Келлер ушёл потому что всё-таки закончил свою работу в Intel, а не по каким-то другим причинам:
> Intel and Keller have scattered some clues about how the chips might work. The new chips will cleanly separate major functions, to make it easier for the company to improve one section at a time—an approach that evokes the chiplet model Keller used at AMD. Keller also hints that Intel’s low-power Atom line of chips may figure more prominently in his future designs for PCs and servers.
> Here are a few, along with the year they reached the market.
…
> Intel Tremont (2020)
> One of the first Keller-influenced designs from Intel, the low-power chip is intended to run small portable devices but could scale up to PCs.
