After losses, the chipmaker is cutting $10 billion in costs.

Intel’s on a long, long road to recovery, and over 15,000 workers will no longer be coming along for the ride. The chipmaker just announced it’s downsizing its workforce by over 15 percent as part of a new $10 billion cost savings plan for 2025, which will mean a headcount reduction of greater than 15,000 roles, Intel tells The Verge. The company currently employs over 125,000 workers, so layoffs could be as many as 19,000 people.

Intel will reduce its R&D and marketing spend by billions each year through 2026; it will reduce capital expenditures by more than 20 percent this year; it will restructure to “stop non-essential work,” and it’ll review “all active projects and equipment” to make sure it’s not spending too much.

    Well I suppose that explains why they’re so recalcitrant to issue a recall for the Gen13 and Gen14 chips.

    I wonder which stupid bible quote Pat Gelsinger will tweet as a response to this, while stuffing his fat CEO wallet.
