Intel is preparing to slash its global workforce by more than 20% in one of the most significant corporate restructurings in its history. The dramatic move comes under the leadership of newly appointed CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who stepped into the role with a mandate to reverse Intel’s slowing momentum in a fiercely competitive semiconductor market.

The planned layoffs are expected to affect tens of thousands of employees across various departments, with the most significant impact likely to fall on administrative and support roles, as well as select engineering teams. Intel currently employs over 100,000 people globally.

Refocusing on Core Engineering Strength

According to internal sources, Tan’s vision is to return Intel to its engineering-driven roots, streamlining decision-making processes, and eliminating what he views as excessive corporate bureaucracy. The CEO is reportedly pushing for a “leaner, faster, and more innovative Intel” that can better compete with agile rivals in the AI and data center chip markets.

The restructuring is also aimed at freeing up capital to reinvest in next-generation chip architectures, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and R&D in artificial intelligence, areas where Intel has been steadily losing ground to competitors like NVIDIA, AMD, and TSMC.

Financial Pressures Mount

Intel has faced mounting financial pressure over the past several quarters. Its profit margins have narrowed, and its once-dominant position in the PC processor space has eroded as demand for personal computers softened and competitors surged ahead with more efficient chip designs.

Despite a previous workforce reduction of 15% last year, Intel’s efforts to cut costs and reorganize its operations have yet to produce the hoped-for turnaround. The additional 20% cut suggests a more aggressive attempt to reset the company’s long-term strategy and improve financial performance.

Internal Reactions and Uncertainty Ahead

The announcement has sparked uncertainty and anxiety among Intel employees, with internal discussions reportedly filled with questions about job security and the future direction of the company. Departments across the board are bracing for changes, and many employees are reportedly preparing for a wave of exits in the coming months.

Leadership is expected to communicate more details to staff and investors ahead of the company’s upcoming earnings call. While some view the move as a necessary shakeup to reignite innovation, others worry it could lead to talent drain and morale issues, especially in the short term.

Eyes on the Future

For Intel, the coming months will be critical. The chipmaker is attempting to redefine itself in a market being transformed by AI, cloud computing, and geopolitics. The upcoming financial quarter will not only shed light on Intel’s performance, but also offer a glimpse into whether this sweeping restructuring can steer the company back into a position of strength.

Investors, employees, and industry observers alike will be watching closely to see if Tan’s bold strategy pays off—or if Intel’s challenges prove deeper than even a leadership shakeup and mass layoffs can solve.
