^ Maybe because it's the 3rd or 4th high executive leave at Intel this year. Dunno for what reasons she left but rumors are there's power struggles and infights at Intel's upper management for a few years now.

AFAIK that's the norm on any big company, right?

Yes and no, of course there's always power struggle, like you say. But at the same time we're talking about the biggest PC chip company in the west, which has failed to reach different targets over the last years, so people are a bit more sensitive and more interested in such stories than the usual fluctuations in management. I think that's why this gets attention.
Although, at the same time it was reported when people left AMD etc. as well. It's news, but maybe not interesting to everybody.

Not to be insensitive or anything but... how is this news?
People come and go on all companies. How is this person more relevant than other employees with equal responsibilities on other big tech companies?
