PORTLAND — Mark Bohr, a 40-year Intel veteran and one of the chipmaker’s leading scientists, will retire in March.
Intel frequently called on Bohr to both help develop new technologies and to explain those innovations to investors and the public. He is known for being able to describe difficult concepts and explain their implications.
Though Intel’s headquarters are in California, Bohr and most other top Intel researchers work in the company’s labs in Washington County where the company develops its most advanced technology. Bohr, 65, held the title of senior fellow and director of process architecture and integration.
Intel credits him with leading the transition to two major technological advances in the past decade: the switch to new materials known as “high-k metal gate,” and “tri-gate” technology that added a third dimension to the standard transistor.
