Intel Breaks Up Graphics-Chip Unit, Names Koduri Chief Architect

Intel Corp., the biggest maker of processors that are the heart of computers, broke up its graphics-chip organization in a bid to accelerate efforts to take sales from Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc.

Raja Koduri, who heads the Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics unit, will move to back to his previous position as Intel Chief Architect, the Santa Clara, California-based company said in a statement early Wednesday. Those who reported to him will move to either Intel’s PC or server chip business units.
