(Reuters) -- Struggling U.S. chipmaker Intel on Wednesday named former board member Lip-Bu Tan as its CEO effective on March 18, more than three months after it ousted company veteran Pat Gelsinger.
Tan, a respected semiconductor industry veteran, has long been seen as a CEO contender. He was approached by Intel's board in December, Reuters had reported, to gauge his interest in taking up the job.
