Following Pat Gelsinger's departure from the beleaguered Intel, the company is on the hunt for a new chief executive officer. And it may set its sights on Johny Srouji, Apple’s executive in charge of custom silicon and other hardware technologies. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman writes that the company might consider asking him again to take on the role. He was reportedly offered the job five years ago to replace CEO Brian Krzanich so he might be in mind this time.

As Gurman pointed out, Apple is on the verge of launching one of Srouji's most significant projects, a.k.a. a homegrown modem. And he would not have a lot more to prove after that, which may allow him to help rebuild Intel.
