Welcome to our dedicated page for Intel news (Ticker: INTC), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Intel stock.
Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Santa Clara, California. As one of the world's largest semiconductor chip manufacturers by revenue, Intel has been a pioneer in the digital revolution, particularly known for its development of the x86 series of microprocessors, found in most personal computers today.
Intel's core business centers around the design and manufacturing of microprocessors for global markets, including personal computers and data centers. The company has been instrumental in advancing semiconductor technology, adhering to Moore's Law, which predicts the doubling of transistors on a microchip approximately every two years. This foresight has kept Intel at the forefront of the semiconductor industry.
In recent years, Intel has diversified its operations to include communications infrastructure, automotive solutions, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The company aims to leverage its extensive chip manufacturing expertise to adopt an outsourced foundry model, enabling it to construct chips for various external clients.
Intel's latest strategic shift involves the transition to an internal foundry model, a decision announced by the CEO on October 11, 2022. This model is designed to streamline the company's financial reporting by segregating manufacturing services into a distinct group, known as Intel Foundry Services (IFS). The move is expected to enhance cost savings and improve operating margins.
The company recently faced a class action lawsuit related to alleged misleading statements about the Internal Foundry model's financial performance. Despite these challenges, Intel continues to innovate and maintain its leadership in central processing units (CPUs) for both personal computers and servers.
Intel's ongoing projects and partnerships, particularly in the fields of AI, 5G technology, and autonomous driving, underscore its commitment to shaping the future of technology. With a strong financial foundation and a strategic vision for growth, Intel remains a pivotal player in the global semiconductor industry.

Intel has unveiled at CES 2025 an expanded product portfolio and partnerships aimed at accelerating the transition to electric and software-defined vehicles (SDVs). The company introduced a comprehensive whole-vehicle platform that includes high-performance compute, discrete graphics, AI, power management, and zonal controller solutions.
A key announcement is the new Adaptive Control Unit (ACU), designed specifically for EV powertrains and zonal controller applications. The ACU U310 consolidates multiple real-time, safety-critical, and cybersecure functions into a single chip.
Intel has also partnered with AWS to co-develop the Intel® Automotive Virtual Development Environment (VDE). This integrated approach aims to reduce development costs and improve performance by optimizing the entire vehicle's electrical/electronic architecture, enabling automakers to build future mobility solutions more efficiently and profitably.
