Updated: Tom Petersen (NVIDIA) might be moving to Intel (Confirmed)
Intel's graphics department has been hiring like crazy, many people from AMD already made that move. Albeit the day and date of this rumor are a bit unfortunate, the chatter is that Tom Petersen from NVIDIA might be making the move to Intel as well. That's pretty much Huang's second man in the graphics segment.
Tom Petersen has been working at Nvidia for fifteen years and was among other things responsible for architectures, overclocking, FCAT, GPU boost. He also is a manager for technical marketing. It is said he will be joining the Intel Game Experience Team. Tom has been Director of Technical Marketing with NVIDIA since 2005.
While it all is somewhat confirmed, it certainly doesn't seem to be an April's fools day prank. He is showing an unemployment status on his LinkedIn. Intel will have added a very high-level staff member to it's GPU team and joins Raja Koduri from AMD's Radeon Technology Group and Chris Hook, from AMD's marketing team Intel is working on GPUs for individual video cards, for consumers and data centers. The company released some details about its plans, which it is working on Odyssey and the Xe GPU, which should be ready by 2020. We're very interested to see what Tom will bring to the table over at Intel.
Update: this has just been confirmed by Intel:

@Fox2232 while this is true, as the director of technical merketing he certainly has let a few things pass his desk that later lead to confusion, or annoyance among customers and the general gaming hardware community alike.
During his time as technical merketing director, VRAM gate with the 970 came up. Same with the different cores with Turing cards and some of which don't even activate currently. I wouldn't trust this guy more than anybody else just because he knows his way around, and due to company policy still has to say something else.
FWIW the title "Director of Technical Marketing" is kind of misleading - Nvidia has like 5 "Directors of Technical Marketing for X" positions they are hiring for now let alone already have roles filled. Tom was one of many people with that title. Whether or not he was involved with the 970 VRAM, idk it's possible - but watching him on PCPer throughout the years it seems like he was more involved with marketing things like G-Sync, Multi-Res Shading, Shadowplay, FastSync etc - a few of which he actually conceptualized and lead the development on.
He always seemed like a good dude to me and I'm kind of sad to see him go. I'll miss his PC Perspective explanations on all the new tech.

Big, big loss for NV. Those who see it as positive thing and treat Tom as some regular marketing guy never worked with him in reality. His input into technologies and developer relations was absolutely huge. Sad day for NV.
