From Geek Times: AMD recruits Apple processor guru as chief chip architect

Keller was most recently a director in the platform architecture group at Apple focusing on mobile products, where he architected several generations of mobile processors, including the chip families found in millions of Apple iPads, iPhones, iPods and Apple TVs. Prior to Apple, Keller was vice president of design for P.A. Semi, a fabless semiconductor design firm specializing in low-power mobile processors that was acquired by Apple in 2008.

While at P.A. Semi, he led the team responsible for building a powerful networking system-on-chip and its integrated PowerPC processor.

I'd love to know the story behind this. I really miss P.A. Semi -- they were doing a great job bringing back PowerPC, which I consider to be a superior architecture to x86 and ARM.
