Intel's big turnaround plan
After enduring a turbulent stretch this summer that saw a 15% workforce reduction and its stock price hit an 11-year low, tech giant Intel has unveiled a slew of stock-boosting new initiatives. The company will create a custom AI chip for Amazon Web Services; will spin its foundry business into a subsidiary to raise outside funding; and will pause plans to build factories in Germany and Poland for two years. The moves follow Monday's announcement that Intel has qualified for approximately $3 billion in government grants to manufacture semiconductors for the U.S. military.
Intel definitely needs all the help it can get, my hope is these investments and the innovation being done to compete against the likes of TSMC and Samsung will help and not just the intense cost cutting that is happening, but I think it's a matter of the long game at this point. Hope to see some amazing news in the future, I'm definitely rooting for Intel ??
