SAN FRANCISCO, March 3 (Reuters) - Intel said on Tuesday that board chair Frank Yeary plans to retire following the company's annual meeting in May and will be replaced by Craig Barratt. 

Yeary's departure is a major shakeup for the struggling U.S. chipmaker's board, roughly a year after CEO Lip-Bu Tan took the top-boss job. Yeary served on the board since 2009 and presided over four CEO transitions during his tenure.

Barratt joined the Intel board in 2025 and has experience working at Qualcomm, and at Alphabet's Google.
