Intel confirms layoffs as it tries to 'make engineers more productive'


New Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan is trying to turn around the company by making it more efficient and focusing on core products.

In a memo, new CEO Lip-Bu Tan declined to detail the extent of the downsizing, which is largely aimed at reducing "unnecessary bureaucracy" and layers of middle management. We will embrace this mindset across the company, which will include empowering our top talent to make decisions and take greater ownership of key priorities," Tan wrote. "My focus will be ensuring that our team builds products that are highly competitive and meet the needs of our customer as we enter a new era of computing, defined by AI agents and reasoning models," Tan said in a call with investors on Thursday.
