Raja Koduri is leaving Intel to start his own Software Company

On Twitter, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger announced that Raja Koduri, the company’s current Chief Architect, is leaving to launch a generative AI gaming software startup. Koduri’s departure comes five years after he joined the company in November 2017 and follows the end-of-year restructuring of Intel’s AXG graphics unit.

Koduri was appointed as AXG leader last year, but stepped down to become a Chief Architect following the restructuring, returning him to the position he held when he joined Intel in 2017 after a five-year stint at AMD.

Raja Koduri replied and expressed his gratitude to Gelsinger and Intel for his time there.

In the upcoming weeks, Raja Koduri also promised to divulge more information about his most recent journey. “Thank you @RajaXg for your many contributions to Intel tech & architecture-especially w/high-performance graphics that helped bring 3 new product lines to market in ‘22. Wishing you success as you create a new software co. around generative AI for gaming, media & entertainment,” Gelsinger posted on Twitter.

The company informs us that there are no upcoming organisational changes as a result of Raja Koduri’s departure because Intel has already reorganised the graphics division. While Intel looks for a permanent leader, Jeff McVeigh will continue to lead the AXG team in his current capacity as interim leader.

Raja Koduri joined Intel around the same time as fellow ex-AMD employee Jim Keller. In collaboration with Keller and Murthy Renduchintala, Koduri helped design and align Intel’s silicon portfolio under a new six-pillar strategy that capitalised on the company’s IP strengths.

Unfortunately, that initiative stalled after Keller, and then Renduchintala left the company in 2020 as a result of the company’s 7nm process node delays. Koduri remained the head of the Architecture, Software, and Graphics group until April 2022, when he was promoted to the position of Executive Vice President.
