FULL STORY
======================================================================Intel 
is laying off another 5,000 workers after 20,000+ already left earlier this 
year Non-core roles in California and Oregon are most at risk Declining 
market dominance is largely to blame 

Intel is planning to lay off a further 5,000 workers, mainly across 
California and Oregon, as part of its broader effort to reduce headcount by 
about 20%, reducing costs and improving profitability. 

The company has already made a series of layoffs affecting around 20,000 
workers this year alone, with Intel's new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, citing the firm's 
declining x86 market dominance, its weak presence in the GPU market, and 
underwhelming performance from its foundry services. 

The latest redundancies were confirmed via Worker Adjustment and Retraining 
Notification (WARN) notices, which are required for large-scale job cuts.

The majority of workers affected in the most recent headcount reduction will 
be from California (2,000) and Oregon (2,500), but several hundreds are also 
expected to lose their jobs in Arizona and Texas. Israel is also seeing job 
cuts. 

It's believed that non-core departments, like HR, marketing, and admin, are 
most at risk, with hardware teams appearing mostly unaffected. Intel says 
it's working to become a leaner, faster, and more efficient company. 

Although tech layoffs remain common in 2025 as AI efficiency gains let firms 
produce more output with fewer people, Intel's cuts are unusually deep. Huge 
streamlining efforts are underway: "Many teams are eight or more layers deep, 
which creates unnecessary bureaucracy that slows us down," Tan wrote in an 
April staff memo . 

With the new leader at the helm, teams are also being asked to reduce and 
remove any unnecessary meetings, keeping attendees to a minimum, in order to 
ensure that more time is being spend on productive work. Workers will also be 
expected to attend the office at least four days per week beginning in 
September 2025. 

Despite a seemingly endless spectrum of challenges, Intel's most recent 
quarterly revenue remained flat year-over-year. You might also like Intel CEO
