Intel's July 20th Layoffs: What's the Real Reason This Time?
28
0x28dd…0833Heard through the grapevine about more layoffs hitting Intel on July 20th. Around 200 employees, supposedly. It's getting hard to keep track. Every few months it feels like there's a new round. Is this just standard restructuring, or is something bigger going on? We keep hearing about the push into AI and foundry, but it seems like the older, established roles are the ones getting the axe. Saw a few posts mentioning Linux driver unmaintenance after previous cuts, which is worrying. Makes you wonder about the long-term stability of remaining teams. Anyone directly affected or have insights into the specific departments targeted this time? Trying to understand if it's performance-based, departmental consolidation, or just a general belt-tightening before a major strategic shift. It’s becoming a bit of a waiting game for a lot of us here.
