Intel Earnings: Chipmaker to cut jobs as Q3 loss forecast deepens

Intel plans to reduce its workforce to 75,000 by year-end, a significant decrease from 99,500 in 2024, causing shares to jump despite a projected steeper third-quarter loss. While sales are expected to surpass estimates, CEO Lip-Bu Tan is leading a turnaround, focusing on new chipmaking processes and streamlining operations. The company's second-quarter revenue was flat, ending a sales decline streak.
