Intel is preparing to unveil plans to prune more than 20% of its workforce, a move that the storied chipmaker believes would reduce bureaucracy, according to a report by Bloomberg News, citing a person with knowledge of the matter.

According to the report, the significant job cuts are a part of Intel’s plan to streamline management and rebuild an engineering-driven culture. This move would be the first major organisational restructuring under the newly appointed CEO, Lip-Bu Tan.

A long-overdue change. I don’t have the stats to support it, but I feel like they’ve been on cruise control since the Dalit lawsuit a few years ago.

Intel CEO invested in hundreds of Chinese companies, some with military ties

Lip-Bu Tan, the man chosen to lead Intel, the U.S.’s largest chip maker, has invested in hundreds of Chinese tech firms, including at least eight with links to the People’s Liberation Army, according to a Reuters review of Chinese and U.S. corporate filings.

The appointment last month of Tan, one of Silicon Valley’s longest-running investors in Chinese tech, as CEO of a company that manufactures cutting-edge chips for the U.S. Department of Defense raised questions among some investors

Reuters’ review found that Tan controls more than 40 Chinese companies and funds as well as minority stakes in over 600 via investment firms he manages or owns. In many instances, he shares minority stake ownership with Chinese government entities.

Tan invested at least $200 million in hundreds of Chinese advanced manufacturing and chip firms between March 2012 and December 2024, including in contractors and suppliers for the People’s Liberation Army, according to a review of Chinese corporate databases cross-referenced with U.S. and analyst lists of companies with connections to the Chinese military.

Well, they had a nice comeback with the Core2Duo series when the Pentium line was getting two hot, and with underwhelming performance.

I can see them maintaining their place in the Enterprise server market, and desktops. Laptops are in play (Apple as an Intel customer is gone), Gamers are largely with AMD, and Intel has no chance in phones and tablets.

I use an Intel desktop because I prefer the chipsets over AMD, and the selection of motherboards. They might solidify what they have, but they will never be as dominant as they were in the 1990s.

My BIL took their early retirement package several months ago because they had some young guys with families on his team. He used to get a paid, 3 month sabbatical every 7 years (I think) where your access is revoked. He was told if he dreaded coming back after it, he should move on. Novel approach but expensive as a lot of them didn’t come back afterwards.

Why not fire H-1B visa holders.

Intel, are you going to keep those H-1B slaves and fire US citizens instead? Inquiring minds want to know.

I’ve been gone from Intel for about 10 years but when I was there the brown-nosers, and worthless people had been there for a decade or more, and I’d bet they somehow miraculously survive the purge. They’ll whack the older engineers and hire a boat load of new college grads from India. Because of the inherent DEI in HR, what NEEDS to be done won’t be.

The big problem at Intel was the ONLY way to get a promotion was to move into management.
The end result is they have been management heavy for 30 years.
Probably too late to fix the real problem.
Failure to listen to customers.

This is where they lost Apple.
