With plans to eliminate over 25,000 jobs by the end of 2025, Intel is preparing for one of the biggest organizational reorganizations in corporate history. The decision was made because the business is still having financial difficulties, is having trouble making progress in the AI market, and is dealing with an overly large operational structure.
The chipmaker plans to cut its workforce to about 75,000 by the end of next year, according to The New York Times. This is a significant decrease from the 108,900 workers it had at the end of 2024.
The corporation has already laid off almost 15,000 employees, or 15% of its total workforce, since April 2025. This comes after a comparable round of layoffs that affected over 15,000 employees the year before.
By the end of 2024, Intel employed about 1.09 lakh people worldwide. But by the end of 2025, that number is expected to drop to about 75,000 “core staff,” representing a significant cut of nearly 25% in its total workforce.
Layoffs and the closure of some business divisions are already part of the downsizing process.
Tan, a former Intel board member and venture investor who took over as CEO in March, is spearheading initiatives to regain the company’s competitive advantage. He has concentrated on increasing the rate of innovation, tightening financial discipline, and simplifying internal procedures since assuming leadership.
