Krzanich left Intel Wednesday after an investigation found he had violated company policy in a past relationship with an employee.

Intel has never hired an external CEO, but this is exactly what Nomura says the company should do. They suggest that Intel bring on Broadcom CEO Hock Tan or former GlobalFoundries chief Sanjay Jha.
