Intel Announces New Data Center Layoffs
Intel, a big company that makes computer chips, is cutting jobs in its data center division.
This is part of a plan to make the company more efficient.
The data center division is important because it makes a lot of money for Intel.
The company has been reducing its workforce for the past few years.
The new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, has said that tough decisions are needed to improve the company.
Intel is also working with a new customer, Fortinet, to make security chips.
Despite the job cuts, Intel says it will keep its promises about future products.
Intel is cutting jobs in its Data Center and AI Group as part of a restructuring plan.
The company aims to streamline operations and align its organization for long-term success.
The data center division reported $5.05 billion in revenue for Q1 2026, up 22% year on year.
Intel's global workforce has shrunk by nearly 40% over the past four years.
