Intel Poised to Lay Off 20 % of Staff

Bloomberg sources say Intel will announce more than 21,000 layoffs—over one-fifth of its workforce—in its first major restructuring under new CEO Sanjay Mehta. The chipmaker aims to streamline layers of management and refocus on cutting-edge fabrication after losing market share to Nvidia. ​

If you’re in hardware or EDA roles, update résumés and network now—rival fabs and design houses will scoop talent quickly but competition will be fierce.
For investors, expect near-term savings yet possible delays to product road-maps.
