Intel’s actions shot on Tuesday before the markets opened, after the announcement of a new association with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and plans to restructure their foundry business. These movements are part of Intel’s efforts to change their operations and become more competitive in the technological world, especially in the rapid growth industry.
Intel CEO, Pat Gelsinger, revealed that the company’s foundry division will make custom artificial intelligence (AI) chips for Amazon cloud services. The Foundry business, which has faced some struggles, will also become a separate subsidiary within Intel to improve its performance and help the company to focus more on the key areas.
Gelsinger explained: “By creating a separate subsidiary, we are providing our clients and Foundry for more independence from the main business of Intel. This change also allows us to look for external funds and administer our resources better, ultimately, helping us grow and create more value for our shareholders.”
Experts, such as JP Morgan Harlan Sur analyst, see this restructuring as a next logical step for Intel. South said that establishing the foundry as its own business could lead to greater transparency and better decision making. He also hinted that this change could lead to Intel revolved to the foundry division completely in the future.
“As Intel makes its foundry a separate unit, it is preparing for more strategic decisions in the future, which could include dividing the business in a few years,” said Sur.
Intel plans to form a dedicated board for the Foundry subsidiary, which will include independent directors to supervise their operations.
Together with these commercial changes, Intel is also reducing costs. Gelsinger provided an update on the company’s plan to reduce its workforce by 15,000 employees at the end of 2023. This is part of a continuous effort to lose weight to the company, and Intel has already reached more than half of its objective through voluntary retirement and separation offers. However, Gelsinger mentioned that more employees will be affected, with expected notifications in mid -October.
Intel also plans to reduce its global real estate footprint, with the aim of cutting or leaving two thirds of its properties worldwide for the end of the year.
The announcement of the IA Chip Agreement with Amazon and the changes in the foundry business were welcome by investors, which increased Intel’s shares by almost 7% in trade prior to commercialization. These developments show Intel’s impulse to recover their competitive advantage, especially in the flourishing AI and semiconductor industries.
