U.S. chipmaker Intel's new CEO Lip-Bu Tan will receive an initial base salary of $1 million, the company said in a regulatory filing on Friday. Tan, who will take charge on March 18, will also be eligible for an annual cash bonus with a target payout of 200% of his base salary.

Together, we will work hard to restore Intel’s position as a world-class products company, establish ourselves as a world-class foundry and delight our customers like never before,” Tan said in a letter to Intel employees on Wednesday.
