After 1991, Intel has snatched dozens of ex-Soviet microprocessor engineers/scientists who then worked on Intel CPUs. Here are two most notable ones:

Vladimir Pentkovski is a Principal Engineer in the Microprocessor Product Group in Folsom. He was one of the architects in the core team, which defined the Internet Streaming SIMD Extensions of IA-32 architecture. Vladimir led the development of Pentium III processor architecture and performance analysis. Previously he led the development of compilers and software and hardware support for programming languages for Elbrus multiprocessor computers in Russia. Vladimir holds a Doctor of Science degree and Ph.D. degree in computer science and engineering from Russia.

Boris Babayan is a Russian supercomputer architect, notable as the pioneering creator of supercomputers in the Soviet Union. Boris Babayan is an Intel Fellow and Director of Architecture for the Software and Services Group. He leads worldwide efforts related to compiler technologies for Intel server products, technologies that enable applications to run on multiple computer architectures without recompiling, and helping to develop Intel security technologies. He will also be a key Intel representative to the leading Russia Academies and Universities, working to attract top talent to Intel sites located in Moscow, Nizhniy and Novosibirsk.
