According to a report cited in the post, MediaTek repeatedly failed to get Intel moving on collaboration — Intel engineers even complained "why are MediaTek people so aggressive, asking yesterday and expecting an answer today? Isn't responding a week later normal?" MediaTek ultimately brought in Shahriari, an even more senior exec with an Intel background, just to get Intel to move, in a pointed commentary on Intel's lingering culture problems.
