硅谷一个黎明前的周四，英特尔公司首席执行官陈立武正遭受来自美国总统的公开抨击。 美国太平洋时间 8 月 7 日凌晨 4 点 39 分，唐纳德・特朗普总统在其 "真实社交" 平台发文称："英特尔 首席执行官深陷利益冲突泥潭，必须立刻引咎辞职。" 出任英特尔首席执行官前，陈立武曾在中国企业 领域频繁布局投资，是业内知名的多产投资人。 特朗普与陈立武此前素未谋面。英伟达、超威半导体、开放人工智能研究中心、亚马逊、谷歌、帕兰提 尔等科技巨头的高管近期均陆续与特朗普会面，而这位执掌美国最具传奇色彩芯片制造商的掌舵人，自 3 月加入英特尔以来，却始终未曾与总统有过正式接触。 政治事务并非陈立武的首要工作重心。这位 66 岁的高管，距上次为总统选举提供政治献金已过去 20 余 年。尽管他在 4 月曾与美国商务部长霍华德・卢特尼克等几位政府高层有过沟通，但在前任民主党籍华 盛顿政策负责人辞职后，英特尔的该核心职位空缺数月，陈立武也迟迟未推进补缺工作。 据两位知情人士透露，特朗普发难后，英特尔迅速紧急协调，争取与总统会面的机会。这一系列努力最 终促成了陈立武数十年职业生涯中至关重要的一场约 40 分钟会面。 关于陈立武与英特尔 ...
