Welcome to our dedicated page for Intel Corporation news (Ticker: INTC), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Intel Corporation stock.
Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Santa Clara, California. As one of the world's largest semiconductor chip manufacturers by revenue, Intel has been a pioneer in the digital revolution, particularly known for its development of the x86 series of microprocessors, found in most personal computers today.
Intel's core business centers around the design and manufacturing of microprocessors for global markets, including personal computers and data centers. The company has been instrumental in advancing semiconductor technology, adhering to Moore's Law, which predicts the doubling of transistors on a microchip approximately every two years. This foresight has kept Intel at the forefront of the semiconductor industry.
In recent years, Intel has diversified its operations to include communications infrastructure, automotive solutions, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The company aims to leverage its extensive chip manufacturing expertise to adopt an outsourced foundry model, enabling it to construct chips for various external clients.
Intel's latest strategic shift involves the transition to an internal foundry model, a decision announced by the CEO on October 11, 2022. This model is designed to streamline the company's financial reporting by segregating manufacturing services into a distinct group, known as Intel Foundry Services (IFS). The move is expected to enhance cost savings and improve operating margins.
The company recently faced a class action lawsuit related to alleged misleading statements about the Internal Foundry model's financial performance. Despite these challenges, Intel continues to innovate and maintain its leadership in central processing units (CPUs) for both personal computers and servers.
Intel's ongoing projects and partnerships, particularly in the fields of AI, 5G technology, and autonomous driving, underscore its commitment to shaping the future of technology. With a strong financial foundation and a strategic vision for growth, Intel remains a pivotal player in the global semiconductor industry.
Intel has appointed Dr. Naga Chandrasekaran as chief global operations officer, executive vice president and general manager of Intel Foundry Manufacturing and Supply Chain organization. He succeeds Keyvan Esfarjani, who is retiring after nearly 30 years with the company. Chandrasekaran, joining from Micron where he was senior vice president for Technology Development, will be responsible for Intel Foundry's worldwide manufacturing operations, including Fab Sort Manufacturing, Assembly Test Manufacturing, strategic planning, corporate quality assurance, and supply chain.
Chandrasekaran brings over 20 years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing and R&D from Micron. He will work closely with other Intel Foundry leaders to achieve Intel's goal of creating the first systems foundry for the AI era. This appointment is part of Intel's strategy to build a globally resilient semiconductor supply chain and capitalize on long-term growth opportunities in the AI-driven computing market.
Intel has announced exciting collaborations demonstrating its commitment to making AI accessible and fostering innovation. Key highlights include:
1. Partnership with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to develop Athlete365, a chatbot powered by Intel Gaudi accelerators and Xeon processors, to assist athletes during the Olympic Games in Paris.
2. Introduction of an industry-driven generative AI (GenAI) retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solution, designed to tackle challenges in deploying GenAI solutions.
3. Collaboration with industry partners to create an open-source, interoperable solution for easy RAG deployment, built on the Open Platform for Enterprise AI (OPEA) foundation.
4. Joining the Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI) to enhance trust and security in AI development and deployment.
Intel has launched its first U.S. registered apprenticeship program for manufacturing facility technicians in Arizona. The program, developed in collaboration with various organizations, aims to train facility technician apprentices over the next five years. Apprentices will be full-time Intel employees from day one, earning a certificate and college credit upon completion of the one-year program.
This initiative addresses the growing demand for skilled semiconductor technicians, as the industry is expected to add nearly 115,000 jobs by 2030, with 58% at risk of remaining unfilled. The program combines classroom instruction and on-the-job training, focusing on core competencies such as mechanical systems, electronics, chemical handling, and critical thinking skills.
