Well with Intel paying $25 million just for the rights to hire him from Qualcomm in addition to paying him probably more then the $14 million a year he was making at Qualcomm you can really understand why after a few years he might leave after not being made CEO. This is someone who would be able to buy a mansion in mansion land and live the rest of his life in luxury spending. Sure he could have made more if he continued with Intel but I am sure he could budget it for only $250,000 a month to spend....
