Intel's new CEO, Brian Krzanich, has reorganised the company's key business groups and created a new devices unit.
Reuters reported that Intel's main product groups including the PC client group, mobile communications and data centre unit that previously reported to Intel Architecture group chief, Dadi Perlmutter, will now report directly to Krzanich.
According to unnamed sources quoted by Reuters, Krzanich sent an internal email to employees which said: "As your CEO I am committed to making quick, informed decisions."
"I am committed to being bolder, moving faster, and accepting that this means changes will be made knowing that we will listen, learn and then make adjustments in order to keep pace with a rapidly changing industry," Krzanich said.
"Our business faces significant challenges, and we simply must continue to execute while finalizing our future strategy," he reportedly explained.
As per the reorganisation, Intel president Renee James, formerly head of the software unit, will also oversee the company's global manufacturing operations and will be responsible for additional parts of security efforts.
Recently, Krzanich said Intel will be more responsive to the fast-growing smartphone and tablet market, the areas where it lags against its competitors.
Intel has also introduced the most extensive overhaul up to now of its Atom mobile processors as part of a plan to strengthen its push into smartphones and tablets.
