The guy who proposed the TAGE branch predictor back in 2006 (and invented other things) is now working at Intel.

The Intel Advanced Architecture Development Group (AADG) is responsible for creating the next leap in Microprocessor Design and the future of the x86 environment at Intel by helping to solve the ‘Innovator’s Dilemma’ when it comes to a new core design for Intel.
This dilemma can be simplified into finding the answers to questions like:
What legacy components of x86 that focused on end-user desktops are really required in a world with a more cloud focused approach?
If you could make any trade-off you wanted between Instructions per Cycle, Core Frequency & Power – what would you do?
In a world where information security is becoming more critical every-day, what should a processor core do differently?
Intel AADG Engineer responsibilities include:
Definition, design, verification, and documentation for x86 CPU microcode development which uses internal ops to implement x86 ISA
Make high level design choices for the microcode structure, frameworks, protocols, and algorithms
