GlobalFoundries just lost long-timer Gary Patton to Intel. Patton served as CTO at GlobalFoundries and Reuters writes his new role at Intel will be corporate vice president and general manager of design enablement. He will report to Mike Mayberry, Intel's CTO. Patton left GlobalFoundries last week.

Patton is known in the industry for his ability to translate research and development into practice inside chip factories. Eight years of his decade at IBM was spent overseeing the company’s 1,600-person semiconductor research and development team, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Intel spokesman Will Moss confirmed the authenticity of the memo but declined to comment beyond it.
