Why Intel is cutting 20 percent of its workforce
Briefly

Intel's CEO Lip-Bu Tan is set to announce a significant reorganization, aiming to reduce the workforce by 20% from its 110,000 employees. This move is part of his strategy to eliminate unnecessary bureaucratic layers within the company, which has been criticized for its complex management structure compared to competitors like AMD and Nvidia. Tan's vision, dubbed "The New Intel," emphasizes engineering excellence and customer relations. The workforce cut is also viewed as a necessary step to boost shareholder confidence amidst declining share prices.
