Senior Intel exec Sean Maloney has had a stroke which will put him on medical leave for some time.
Maloney used to run the chip giant's sales and marketing arm but was shifted to [1] joint head of architecture late last year.
According to a statement he is expected to make a full recovery but it is likely to take some months.
Paul Otellini, president and chief executive of Intel, said: "I visited with Sean and his sense of humor and determination to return to work fill the room. We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to his return."
While he is off sick his desk will be minded by Dadi Perimutter - who shares the running of Intel's Architecture Group with Maloney. ®
