Intel will shut down its automotive business, lay off most of the department’s employees

Intel will shut down its small automotive business and lay off the majority of the workers in that segment, the latest step in the chipmaker’s dramatic downsizing. “As we have said previously, we are refocusing on our core client and data center portfolio to strengthen our product offerings and meet the needs of our customers,” Intel said in a written statement to The Oregonian/OregonLive.
