Veteran semiconductor PR pro Jon Carvill has left the top communications slot at AMD spinoff GlobalFoundries for rival Intel.
Semiconductor bloggers report Carvill will help Intel burnish its image in the smartphone and table market, a key sector in which analysts and investors have pressured the company to make better inroads.
Carvill joined AMD (senior manager, PR) when it acquired ATI in 2006 and later moved to guide PR for its manufacturing arm, later GF, in 2009.
Carvill takes a corporate PR and media relations post at Intel.
Intel’s longtime tech manager George Alfs retired after 27 years with the company in January.
